James Madison's Montpelier



 I was in Ruckersville VA yesterday and I think if you want a great get-a-away drive you might enjoy a visit.  From Richmond I went up interstate 64 to Gordonsville ( exit 136 US 15 )  then left on Rt 33 to Ruckersville on Rt 29.  Past the Barboursville Vineyards, James Madison's home Montpelier and several really good places to eat.  The holiday lights in the small quaint town of Gordonsville was like going back in time and they have The BBQ Exchange, a fun BBQ place to eat.  A delightful way to spend a day.  Oh, and a surprisingly GREAT place full of fabulous vintage modern items in Modern Ruckus at the Ruckersville Gallery,
