Spend way too much money at the Pearl Farmers Market
If you want something particular, especially if you want something natural or specially made, then you’ve got a good chance of finding it at the Pearl Farmers Market. If you’re planning to go for your daily groceries, however, just remember that the cute baskets make it more expensive.

Sweating it up in Natural Bridge Caverns
Having a teenage tour guide making close to minimum wage tell cheesy jokes about rock formations as you walk through a cavern that has taken thousands of years to form seems almost insulting to nature. Another reason not to go is that there is almost 100% humidity 100% of the time.
