Take a road trip (to wellness!)

Nothing says "springtime fun" like a road trip! What if you could combine your next road trip with the opportunity to live a healthier life? My colleague Christy tipped me off to a fabulous road trip/wellness opportunity taking place this weekend. Take a breezy 45 minute drive past Mechanicsville on I-64 East to York County, VA and explore the fun at their Yorktown Fitness Market. There's something for everyone to check out: activities and demonstrations ranging from Zumba to Tae Kwon Do to Segways and line dancing; health and wellness education and awareness,  yummy healthy cooking demonstrations; free health screenings and even giveaways and live music!

The Fitness Market takes place Saturday, May 11 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at Riverwalk Landing in Yorktown (voted one of the best shopping destinations in the 2012 Daily Press Choice Awards!). Christy notes, "They have a nice sandy beach, walking trail, free trolleys, a park, tons of history and (if you're adventurous enough to do a bit of rock climbing) a secluded private beach" plus shops, restaurants and free parking. Kudos to our friends at York County Parks and Recreation for their generous sponsorship of this fun event!
