    Without a doubt worth the drive out of DC. This is the BEST Smithsonian museum hands down. The size…read moreand scale of the hangers is awesome. Every plane was a crucial part of history with their own story. Such an assembly of epic pieces of aviation history in a single place must be unique the world over. We went almost exclusively to see the SR-71 Blackbird but I didn't even realize the Enola Gay was there until I was standing next to it, almost close enough to touch. To think of the mindset of the men who flew that mission, knowing full well what the order meant and the horror they would unleash that would change the world instantly and usher in a new era where the human race was capable of civilization ending destruction. Whether you see nuance or have a strong opinion, one way or the other, the presence of this aircraft is undeniable when you're a mere ten feet away. This is a place for aviation fans, young children, and any curious mind who wants to see the incredible and awesome history of both civilian and military aviation, all in one ginormous hanger.

    My sister, mother and I went here for a visit on a Monday. They had wheelchairs to borrow for my…read moremother which is really helpful. The museum had a space shuttle Discovery. Concorde plane and a variety of Japanese, German and US Allied planes. The entrance per person is typically free. There is a parking fee of $15. There were a series of tour buses that arrived around 2 pm today (Monday)

    If you want to take a step back in time and visit a small Virginia town, then take a beautiful…read morecounty drive to Clifton. There are NO chain stores here. In fact, there are only 1-2 shops and several restaurants. The main draw are the historical markers along the railroad tracks that describe their history and importance and the quaint 1900's architecture. The first railroad station, now gone, was built around 1850. The railroad was important during the Civil War with many battles fought near this border town. The town remains unchanged since the 1930's. Colorful homes line the street each telling a story. Amenities are limited. There is some street parking and a small parking lot behind Buckley's store. Parking is free. The only restrooms are in the restaurants. All the restaurants are good. Gas up before you come.

    This is a nice town in Virginia. Surrounded by both Fairfax and Prince William Counties, bring cash…read moreand credit cards. Nothing is cheap here. In many ways it's a lot like Middleburg. On a plus note I do like the trains a lot. Also the caboose exhibit is a nice aspect. Yet do take care, as the main road can be fairly congested. Old Town Alexandria or Fairfax, are more foot traffic friendly. Is it pretty? Yes. The old church and general stores are very attractive. Seeing the old Texaco sign is always pleasant. There are some expensive craft shops and restaurants. Petersons Ice Cream, is higher than most, but I do love them for a dessert treat. Parking can be a challenge, but overall small and quaint.
