Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

We stopped here after reading the reviews and it turned out to be one of my favorite stops. I will go back here. I had my 13 and 9-year-old with me and they loved it as well. I was an art student and this place brought back those memories for me. Very interesting and original artwork of all kinds of mediums.

ArtSpace Herndon is a community art gallery created and supported by art lovers in the greater Herndon area. ArtSpace Herndon is a gathering place to celebrate the arts,showcasing artwork and events by local, regionally, and nationally known artists.
Tucked out of the way (but plenty of parking close by), this is a gem of a small art gallery. The exhibits I've seen so far have been wonderful. It's not very big, but well worth the time to visit.
