This Weekend's
Top Getaway

Catch a fever this weekend--a football fever, that is--when you bring the whole family to the Children's Museum of Richmond this Saturday, January 28 for their Super Saturday Scooper Bowl. Come wearing your favorite sports team jersey as you enjoy ice cream and fun handouts. Have your ice cream scooped by players from the Richmond Raiders, and get an autograph from the Lady Raiders. After the fever has subsided, relax at Linden Row Inn, a great American inn filled with fascinating history and delightful amenities. Click here to learn more about the Scooper Bowl, and click here to book your stay at Linden Inn.

This Week's Recipe

Since we've still got quite a bit of winter left, make the most of the shivery season by creating a comforting and quite tasteful Pesto Bean Soup. This rich and flavorful soup is simple to make and effortless to devour. Simply sauté garlic cloves and red pepper flakes, add cannellini beans, simmer and flavor with pesto and parmesan. Celery adds some savory substance along with chopped olives and roasted peppers that can be stirred in before serving. Click here for the complete recipe.

This Week's Drink

If tea is for two and two are for tea at your house this weekend, add a little extra flavor and warmth to your cup with this Bourbon Chai Tea recipe. The rich, spicy warmth of chai is perfect for a winter weekend, and it just got better with the addition of bourbon, blending notes of clove, vanilla and caramel perfectly with the chai. Click here for the completely exquisite recipe.
