Do you and Lukas each have a favorite scene from LOTR? To this day I'll occasionally stumble across a moment in which I'll drop the question "is it secret, is it safe" & i see that as a small victory
@@LaurenZRay i went to Edinburgh as part a wedding party of my close friends in Dec 2022. Their wedding was at the Royal Botanical Garden. To say the trip was magical would be a huge understatement. Exploring Calton Hill, going to see Vivaldi's 4 seasons at the St. Giles cathedral, and watching argentina win the World Cup Final there were just a few of many highlights! Would be awesome to hear about yalls experiences too sometime!
@@thervaxpod love you guys too!! Anyone reading this check out the Richmond Experience Podcast to get inside scoops on things, food & places in Richmond 😍
Just a note to alert you that the pawpaws on Belle Isle are ripe! They wont last long, so if you want any, this week is the time to go. Look for them along the paths that are on the top of the island. Many will be already past their prime, but there should be lots of good ones among the leaves. Sometimes, shaking the tree works to dislodge them. I picked a hat full yesterday and made pawpaw jam 😋
SML is a vibe. We go almost every year. We watched your vid on recommendations in Richmond right before we went for the second time ever this past weekend. Thanks. We did lots of history stuff. good and bad lol
Lauren, my wife and I spoke to you at the Farmer’s market this morning! Great to meet you! I meant to ask you what kind of documentaries you make. I find that very interesting! Are any of them posted online? Vimeo? Timothy
If you’re into random trivia, the movie “What about Bob” was filmed at the lake. Still a lot of the same houses and buildings from the movie are there.
@@jonclifton2086 oh yes! I’m glad the saga continues - or doesn’t because it’s a prequel, but you get it haha. I didn’t really get into it until the last episode of season 1 and then I was like OH I GET IT. and now I’m hooked haha
Hey! Lauren and Lucas, A couple of questions for you ? How many countries have you been around the world.? Your Favorite, if you have one ? I know you guys like architecture . Your favorite in Richmond, Va. Love you guys❤ Jim and Harriet Be Well !
Hey Lauren and Lucas we love your channel! We’re considering retiring in Richmond and wonder if you can find out what life is like for queer folks on a normal day to day basis? Hope you pick our question!
@@MatthewLeese this is a great question! I want to include some input from the queer community to answer it. I’m going to get with my friends and include them in my next vlog to answer this for you! 💚
Drop any questions you have for Lukas or me below! 💚👇

@@matthewreynolds3500 absolutely! The quotes are used daily!! Haha 😍
@@LaurenZRay For a lake like Smith Mountain in Virginia i've never heard of it. How big is the lake compared to Lake Michigan and Erie?
@@ElliotDeakin smith mountain lake is only 20,000 acres while the Great Lakes are millions of acres. No comparison really! Haha
