Don't know if you decided on Richmond or notvvalkyriNovember 9 2011, 04:04:16 UTC
If so, I got a couple of responses re inexpensive stuff to kill time during the day:
From Ellen - There are a couple of cool vintage stores in Richmond....I know they are in Cary-town, so that at least sounds promisingly close to Cary Street, maybe?
Here's the listing from Frank (of Frank and Karyn)'s website:
* Halcyon Vintage Clothing, 117 N. Robinson Street (804)-358-1311 * Bygones, 2916 W. Cary St, (804)-353-1919 * Galaxie, 409 Strawberry St., (804)-278-9411 * Luxor,3001 W. Cary St, (804)-359-6789 * Out of the Closet, 2001 W. Main St, (804)-355-7909 * FanTastic Thrift,1914 W. Main St, (804)-358-7164 * Clothes Rack, 2618 W. Cary St, (804)-358-4693 * Max Griffin Max Griffin Antiques and Jewelry 3459 W. Cary St. Richmond, VA 23221 804-422-3461(Jewelry, accessories, furniture) * Exile 822 W. Grace Street * Diversity Thrift 1729 W. Cary St.
Halcyon and Bygones are the 2 biggest/nicest stores of the ones listed. Bygones and Luxor are very close to one another, and not at all far from the address you listed for the vet. I don't remember Clothes Rack or Max Griffin, but those are also in that same general neighborhood, so there could be some good time-wasting done by hunting thru the various and sundry items at these places. IIRC, there are also tons of cool little shops of the non-vintage type in the same general area.
From C: Well the Richmond Capitol has a modern underground museum/visitor center like the US Capitol. I recall a fair number of stairs but as it is a new building it is accessible with various lifts and ramps that I didn't bother using. It looks like it is 3 miles from the place they are dropping the dog off at. The only concern might be cell reception. However they might have repeaters for the major networks.

I don't know of much else in Richmond (St John's Church where Patrick Henry gave his Liberty or Death speech has an admission fee) From K:
