The Gather & Hen had amazing food and one of the best Old Fashioned cocktails I’ve had in a while. Our waitress Jaime was also amazing. 

The king suite I was in was perfect for relaxing and unwinding after a day of adventure. 

There are so many more Historic Sites to see in the area and I can’t wait to come back. 

The Hilton Downtown Richmond is a historic building formerly the Miller & Rhoads Department Store building, which originally opened in 1885, founded in 1883 by Linton Miller, Webster Rhoads, and Simon Gerhart.

I’ve gotten to do that a couple of times here in South Carolina in the Santee State Park.

This is a fun trend. AI was spot on, my little adv This is a fun trend. AI was spot on, my little adventure pups are so cute.
It’s Pizzas Time! VIA 313 is the best place to g It’s Pizzas Time!
VIA 313 is the best place to get your pizza fix. 

Drove the Jeep out to the Rim for lunch and we started with the meatballs and marinara which had so much flavor and were cooked perfectly. 

Then we tried the DLX 313 and wow, every bite was better than the last. 

The DLX 313 answers the question every table argues over: which pizza do we get? Instead of picking one, we got  four of Via 313’s most iconic options, arranged on a single large pan and double cut into 16 squares.
 
Here’s the lineup:
The Detroiter — smoked pepperoni tucked beneath the cheese, natural casing pepperoni crisping on top

The Ambassador Bridge — pepperoni, sausage, fresh garlic, oregano and house-made ricotta

The Cadillac — prosciutto, gorgonzola, parmesan, fig preserves and balsamic glaze

The Bobo Brazil — hot calabrese, sausage, red pepper flakes and Mike’s Hot Honey

And of course y’all know I will always try a smoked Old Fashioned if it’s on the menu, and this cocktail was delightful. They use Still Austin Straight Bourbon, which is quickly becoming one of my faves. 

We finished off the meal with a trio of hubcaps and a bowl of the Superman ice cream. For the Hubcaps, we chose the snickerdoodle, red velvet and Detroit confetti. We really enjoyed every bite of all three, and that Superman ice cream was spectacular.

For your birthday they even give you a whole sheet of the Cinnamon Stix, yay for it being my birthday month. 

I highly recommend that you head out to @via313pizza and check it out, you won’t be disappointed, and I know you’ll have a great time.

Then the yummy fun began with more birthday freebies!

I got the new Apple Pie Bundtlet from @nothingbundtcakes ! Next was a free sandwich from @schlotzskys and another free sandwich from @jerseymikes 

For dinner the hubs took me to @maggianoslittleitaly for one of the best Smoked Old Fashioned cocktails I’ve ever had, such a great presentation. And their mushroom ravioli was absolutely amazing. I love that for your birthday they give you the yummy lemon cookies with candles. 

And of course, I ended the evening with my free @starbucks coffee, that’s right, a triple shot latte at 8 pm, yay me. 

Thank you to everyone that called, texted, Facebook msg’d, and sang me Birthday wishes. It was a great day to turn another year older.
