Chantilly is named after an early-19th-century mansion and farm, which in turn took the name of an 18th-century plantation that was located in Westmoreland County, Virginia.

Highlights of this visit: The observation tower!! A MUST!! Space Shuttle Discovery & a whole area dedicated to man in space FREE guided highlight tours MANY staff/volunteers happily able to share information, history, and personal experiences... Extremely organized and very well labeled exhibits Multi-level views of many aircraft thanks to 2nd & 3rd level walkways. Points to note: Museum is free, but parking is not ($15) In-house McDonald's is CLEAN and not as pricey as would be expected inside a venue...it's an option, with views of planes coming into Dulles Lots of well-placed seating for visitors with mobility limitations or rest needs Our family of 5 (kids ages 14, 11, & 8) ALL enjoyed this museum!! For the sake of comparison, we have also recently visited the Wright-Patterson USAF Museum...both are excellent!! WP has more aircraft overall and delves deeper into the history of flight. Udvar-Hazy provides a more open environment with spectacular presentations. We HIGHLY recommend this museum!

On a trip to Philly then down to Winchester VA we spent a few nights in Fairfax VA to visit a cousin. She said there's a new brewery close by so we visited Mustang Sally Brewery. Warehouse type atmosphere, high ceiling and wide open. Lots of room for parties. Had corn hole set up to play. Looks like a great place to have a private party. Anyhow I was there for the beer! And the beer was great.
5. Ono Brewing Company
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25 reviews
Self-serve craft beer with a tropical tasting room atmosphere. Fun, relaxing setting, TVs on one side of the tasting room, group accommodations, and an outside Lanai. On-site, gourmet BBQ by Odd BBQ.

Loved idea of using a card provided by Ono once you give credit card to purchase the exact quantity of beer from automated taps. Great selection and quality of beers. On-site Odd Bar-B-Que has great pub food selections
