Once per year now, but if I can find a low-cost, fast means of getting there, I'd probably increase that to at least once a month.

If we had a high-speed rail line that ran from Richmond to DC for a decent price, that would be idea.
If that rail extended through Lynchburg and into Roanoke, that would be PERFECT! LOL

I went to college in the DC area and still have plenty of friends up there, so I try to make it at least once every few months.

I get up there alot due to my job. It is nice just to have lunch up there and see many types of people of different ethnicities all in one city. DC is international, whereas RIC is Old South. You can't really compare the two. But even if I didn't get up there alot it is nice knowing that in just a mere 1.5hrs you can have the option.

I have not been in a long time. I used to go for the basketball games. I want to go back but like others have said it can cost a lot.

I usually do at least once every two months although I wish it was twice a month. I don't mind doing the driving and I do it from Hampton, VA non stop.
