Shop till you need some coffee at Short Pump in Richmond, Virginia

is just the perfect prescription for your next weekday you decide to take a day or two of annual leave. There is a large variety of pricepoints for shopping for your parents, kids, grandparents, siblings, in-laws and even for yourself.

This mall is truly kid-friendly even in cooler weather with many places to eat or grab a snack while taking a break from shopping. The big box stores allow you the best sales on about to be out of season clothing and accessories.

Once you have finished shopping at Short Pump, visit some of the outlying areas for more shopping and dinner. There is such a variety of stores and restaurants that it would take several days to cover even a few handfuls of these places.

Then you might want to stay at a nearby big box hotel or at a bed and breakfast where you can rest and get ready for another day of shopping. And if there is a guy along that does not enjoy shopping like you do, send him to a sporting event in the area or to play a round of golf or two.
