Trip Note | JetBlue Challenge ✈️ | Day Trip to Richmond, VA 📍 Richmond International Airport (RIC) 📖 History Joined a tour at the State Capitol 🏛️. Designed by Thomas Jefferson himself while he was an ambassador in France 🇫🇷, inspired by the Roman temple Maison Carrée in Southern France — he pretty much copied the design 😂. Although the main building isn’t huge, it sits in a large park with meaningful sculptures — including one featuring six key figures from Virginia’s history: Thomas Jefferson (Independence) John Marshall (Justice) ⚖️ Patrick Henry (Revolution) 🔥 Lewis (Colonial Times) Nelson (Civil War Finance) 💰 Mason (Author of the Virginia Bill of Rights) 📜 🖼️ Art Visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) 🎨 — one of the top art museums in the U.S. Currently hosting a special exhibition on Frida Kahlo 🇲🇽, tracing her resilient, intense, and complex life. Also on display: 5 Imperial Fabergé Eggs 🥚 — part of the 47 existing eggs made by the French jeweler Fabergé. Less sparkly than expected (more crystal & silver, less diamond & platinum), but incredibly detailed craftsmanship! 🎶 Music Attended a Cody Fry concert with the Richmond Symphony at the Altria Theatre 🎻🎹 — already shared a separate post about it. Link in comments! 🔗 🌆 City Vibe Took an evening Canal Walk 🚶‍♂️💧, then enjoyed the city skyline from Libby Hill Park 🌃. Richmond is rich in Civil War history — battle sites and preserved “Tobacco Row” old factory buildings stand as historic landmarks. 💡 Cut the trip short this time and headed back to NY early — so UVA and Monticello (Jefferson’s estate) are saved for next time! 🏛️🍃 🌟 Follow me for more travel, music, art, culture, history, food, and wide-ranging interests! #Virginia #Richmond #VMFA #Frida #CodyFry #ThomasJefferson #UVA #Travel
