Richmond, Virginia

There’s plenty here for history geeks (make a beeline to St. John’s Church where Patrick Henry delivered his “give me liberty or give me death” speech) and live music fans alike (swing by The National for a show, and if you can, grab dinner at Vagabond, which earns you early admission to the venue). And thrill-seekers won’t feel left out, either, with the epic 52-mile Virginia Capital Trail to glide over via bicycle. If your group prefers to get their thrills in the form of stiff drinks, head to the up-and-coming Scott’s Addition neighborhood, for an impromptu craft beer and cider crawl.

Lexington, Kentucky

You and your girls don’t have to be horse aficionados find something fun to do in this historic city. The birthplace of bourbon offers drinking opportunit

ies aplenty: Clink your glasses in the rapidly evolving Distillery District, at buzzy hotspots like Middle Fork, Ethereal Brewing, The Break Room (the bar is in the original break room for the old distillery), and Crank & Boom (offering superb craft ice cream to soak up all that booze). Also worth venturing to Castle & Key, the Bluegrass region’s newest distillery with a female master distiller (the first in Kentucky since Prohibition!). On any given day, you can also bike awesome trails (try the Legacy Trail), shop artsy boutiques (The Square is a must), and yes, see plenty of stunning horses.
