Sightseeing in Richmond, Virginia

 Our motel where we are staying.  It is right down town and walking distance to the sights we want  to see.
 The Wickham house.. It  was so interesting to go through and see how the rich people lived back in the 1800's.
 The front doors of the Wickham house.
 Old City Hall.  Don't you love the colors.
 State Capitol building.  The have restored the old part up top and have excavated the hill it sets on underneath and made the building larger.
 They are filming the new Steven Spielberg movie about Lincoln, around the capitol building.  We saw them filming but did not get to see any of the famous people.  Just the extras.  But it was kind of exciting.  I cannot wait for the film to come out now.
 St. Paul Episcopal Church.  There is seating for 800 members,  One of the largest on the east coast.  They had a beautiful pipe organ.
This is where we ate dinner.  It was a fun little restaurant in the Shockoe Slip.  Cobble stone streets and fun restaurants and shops.
