Last month, I challenged readers to make a "Virginia State Parks To-Do List" by visiting our events website at www.virginiastateparks.gov/ and selecting five things to do at Virginia State Parks.
Now that school is almost over, I want to reiterate that challenge! Have you picked your five??
Here are my recommendations...
1. The Fossil Walk along the James River at Chippokes Plantation State Park. You've never seen shells this big!!!

2. The Bald Cypress hike at First Landing State Park. Swamp land has never looked so good!! Bring your camera...dragonflies and turtles abound!!
3. Bird Banding at Kiptopeke State Park. Get up close and personal with songbirds and bird researchers!
4. Moonlight Paddle on Back Bay at False Cape State Park. Do something different for date night!
5. Stargazing at York River State Park. Forget Dancing with the Stars, get outside and get to know some REAL stars!
You can go hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing, beach combing, birdwatching, swimming, make crafts, attend a workshop, go fishing, start a nature journal, or spend the day with your dog. New events and activities are being added every day!!
Come out and play with us!!
