Bathrooms were clean. Don't start thinking that you've escaped the DC traffic. There's more to come. It's worth noting the historical marker, since that's also my thing. It reads: The Neabsco Mills Ironworks complex, under the ownership of three generations of the Tayloe family, of Richmond County, operated between 1737 and 1828. Located near this site, it was one of the longest continuously operating ironworks in present-day Northern Virginia. The 5,000-acre iron plantation, which was worked by resident free laborers, indentured servants, and slaves, was a multifaceted operation. The workers produced not only pig and bar iron for sale at home and export to Great Britain, but also engaged in shipbuilding, milling, leatherworking, shoemaking, and farming. The complex was an important supplier of iron for weaponry during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. (Probably used during the Civil War, too.)

This rest stop in Northern Virginia along I-95 could be easy to miss. However, I really needed to…read moreuse the facilities and had my eye out for a blue sign, so I followed all the signs off the highway to the pavilion. It wasn't anything fancy -- just some vending machines and separate bathrooms. No biggie. My only annoyance was how long it took to get there. I don't understand the layout of exiting the highway, remaining next to it for a while, and *then* pulling in. Why couldn't they just let us exit like any normal rest stop? At least merging on was much easier. Toilets were clean. Would work in a pinch.

It has taken me many years to accept what happened to me at the Glen Echo Park. After my mother…read morelost me I was found by a man who was obsessed with throwing his quarters into arcades. He comforted me with stories of how his parents spent their youths at this same park, rolling in the coasters and getting their cars fixed at the nearby Exxon Gasoline Station.

These days I take my granddaughter Madysynn here and we make our own memories.

My dad got his car fixed at this Exxon Gasoline Station. I also remember wondering what it would be like to live right by Glen Echo Park. My mother actually got to go to the park when it was in operation. The roller coaster she would not go on. Glad I was about to take a walk down memory lane.

You know how people will make a long social media post just because they wanted to share a thirst…read moretrap? Like friend - just post your lil shirtless pic and go. This is kind of that - the Center had the cutest Virginia Is For Lovers sign and me and my love wanted a pic in front of it lmao. **************** Growing up, we did a lot of road trips and my mom taught me to avoid rest areas. Make sense from a safety perspective as women. Welcome Centers are typically a class of their own though - and this one just across the state line off I-81 is no exception. Brightly lit, inviting, ample tractor trailer parking, and sparkling clean - I can't believe I've driven past it hundreds of times and never even noticed it. Too busy making a beeline for the Bojangles at the next exit lmao. On one side of the center are the restrooms - choose from men, women, and single room "family." Truly a spot for everyone - IYKYK. The bathrooms themselves were incredibly clean, and there were a couple of larger stalls for accessible access. As a fat, nothing worse than rubbing up against the door or the seat :shivers: going into a bathroom stall. There was even a stall with a mini commode perfect for smaller people and kids. On the other side was the actual welcome center - staffed with an actual employee and hundreds of brochures, booklets, and coupon books of state attractions. Lots of vending machines too. There are two entrances - the front for car drivers and the back for tractor trailer drivers. We had some Truck Business to attend to in nearby Winchester and parked the rig overnight to sleep, then left the truck here for a few hours and it was perfectly safe. We also had our dog with us (mind your business) and were able to give him a long sniff walk around the property and tucker him out. There were a lot of employees tending to the restrooms and the grounds and they were all very friendly. Just a very nice vibe and not at all the seedy trafficking spot drilled into my head since birth lol. Now, I can't speak for what happens when the sun goes down, but during the daylight hours this is worth a stop. Enjoy!

This is the first rest stop when you enter Virginia from the West Virginia border. We stopped here…read morefor a quick bathroom break. We travel constantly and o must say this is one of the best rest stops I have ever been to. It is clean both inside and outside. Very spacious with lots of vending machines and an area to sit and relax or have a meal. The men's and women's bathrooms are kept clean and tidy and are also big and can handle numerous patrons at a time. The outside is just the same, grounds are beautifully maintained and they even have a large "LOVE" sign for pictures of your trip to their state. Graph a magazine or brochure from the rack and see everything this state has to over. I wish all rest areas were like this one, your trip would be so much more enjoyable.

On my multiple trips back and forth on I-70 I usually bypass this rest stop, it's in a weird area…read more For more than one reason. Recently I had to stop because I needed to do some work related stuff. It also didn't hurt that I needed to use the facilities. Getting off at this rest stop can be a bit tricky. This sits at the top of a crest where three lanes of traffic (used to allow for slower moving big rigs to be on the right) goes down to two. So if you are scurrying along to pass those big rigs, you may miss it or have to cut it close to make the exit to the rest stop. Once on the lot, just follow the signs to where regular cars/trucks/suvs would go. The building on the grounds are what you would expect at a rest stop. They do have some things here that are to entertain or educate you, but they have been directly in the sunlight so much that they are bleached or just plain old destroyed. Facilities are well taken care of and usable. My main purpose here was to do a real quick work thing and then continue on my way. The cell service here is bad. I had LTE at most and did not matter what I was trying to do, just would not work. Totally not their fault, but if it is against the law to text or hold a handheld device while driving, they might want to invest in WiFi or something at these rest stops. Getting back onto the highway is a bit tricky as well. Leaving from the regular vehicle lot you go on what feels like a winding country road. Then you have to rush yourself in hopes that you can make it back on the highway without causing any delays.
