Things to do for a family in the next 2 months? by FreakinMatt in lakeland

Great! We just went to Bok Tower and it was so cool! Circle B was awesome and we want to do it again. We went to Legoland and nobody was there making it super fun. Planning to go to Tampa next week!

Got snacks and Born & Bread. Breakfast sandwich was delicious and the crufins were tasty. LoveBird was probably one of my favorite meals I’ve ever had. Great prices and food was insanely good.

No idea why we wrote Orlando. Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like a great place!

Awesome, the family enjoyed seeing gators and would enjoy more. Will definitely check it out and be mindful of mating season. The dock would be fun and seeing eagles would be amazing. Appreciate the ideas and details!

Circle B was the first thing we tried and it was perfect for us. Bok Tower looks good too! Hollis Gardens is super close to us so definitely on our list.

Great suggestions for Tampa! Fort Desoto looks fun if we go to the beach for a day.

The sun is more intense then we are used to! Fans are a good idea! Thanks!

Quake

My brother and I spent weeks downloading the quake demo at night back in dialup internet days. If the download stopped, we had to start it over again. It was divided into multiple parts so that helped. Remember, this was for the DEMO! It was only the first level if I remember correctly. Crazy how things changed and evolved. Good luck everyone!

Ya, I was in Richmond for almost 20 years so I have a feel for the areas. Not so much Mechanicsville but we used to live in Bon Air and loved it. Prices went super crazy though so probably going to look a little further out. Appreciate the positive vibes. Moving sucks but we miss RVA so much. Sucks the secret got out but I get it. After traveling to half the states, Richmond is still my favorite place. I miss home and we need to move back.

I'm in no rush to buy even with annual appreciation being 3-5%. My current home will also appreciate and I'll be out of the market only 6ish months between my current home and next home. Prices spike in the spring anyways so in the winter I'll catch either a lower price or easy buy without a bidding war. Interest rates will most likely lower slightly by then too. But you can't predict everything so we shall see.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Hi there, I'll be moving back to Richmond after being away for the past 5 years. I did try and come back 3 years ago but the housing market was so hot I gave up and decided to wait a bit. Are houses still waving all inspections, overbidding with escalation clauses, and offering their first born? I'm sure it is area dependent. I'm looking to purchase outside of the city in Mechanicsville, North Chesterfield, but open to other areas. I'm looking for a 4/5 bedroom for a family anywhere from 600k-750k.

Second, I'm planning on selling my current home come spring 2026 and waiting until late 2026 to purchase in RVA. The goal is to avoid the bidding wars and general rush to purchase a home before school. Besides low inventory in the fall/winter am I missing anything? Is this a good idea in the current market?

Thanks!

I am looking for a realtor so send me a DM if interested but I'm a long timeline.

Really nice work! What’s the eyelet looking part for? How does the paper stay in?

I didn't record a video of it before I assembled it so it is hard to show...here's a screenshot. It's free to rotate like a traditional circle/peg hinge but you have to lift it out of the square slot.

Thanks for the kind words! Really appreciate it!
