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.

The new outdoor Plaza at Tysons Corner hosts events throughout the year and provides a number of eateries with cafe seating. The new 310 room luxury Hyatt Regency Hotel at Tysons Corner Center is the perfect respite from a busy day of shopping.
Tyson's Corner is a very modern shopping mall where you can find stores from good reputable American brands to premium ones such Coach or Tesla. The food courts are ok but I'd rather recommend the speciality restaurants. The department stores Macys, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's are spacious and well provided. Lord and Taylor has a lower standard. Godiva is a store I recommend, especially because Ice cream.

Williamsburg Antique Mall is 45,000 square feet of well-organized antiques from a variety of eras. Check out our inventory online: https://antiqueswilliamsburg.store/
I absolutely loved this huge place. It has over 300 booths and it's over 45,000 square feet plus a cafe. I thought the pricing was fare but a few things seemed to be overpriced. The main aisles were wide and clear but there were some cluttered booths (some you couldn't even get into for the clutter). We just pass right by the cluttered booths because it isn't worth knocking something over or tripping. You can find coins, military, vintage jewelry, art, vinyl records, holiday, books, civil war items, lighting, china, pottery, tools, pewter, silver, toys, porcelain, vintage clothes, many unique items (some I have never seen before) and so much more. It's definitely worth checking out.

The people who work here are talented and creative. The items that are saved and resold will bring back memories of the past.
