Take a Staycation— Spring Break Activities Right Here in Northern Virginia

"Spring break" oftentimes means packing the car and heading off on a long distance road trip, but that doesn't have to be the case if you live in Northern Virginia! Our area is full of local fun and activities that don't require hours of travel time.

Fairfax and Arlington County each offer great spring break getaways, no matter if you live in NoVa, are simply visiting or looking to call this your permanent home. Here are a few ideas to explore this spring:

Be Historical
Northern Virginia is an area rich in history, so why not brush up on your knowledge this spring? Take a trip to Alexandria and Springfield— Tour Woodlawn Estate, which was designed by the architect of the first U.S. Capitol. It was also the home of Eleanor Custis and Lawrence Lewis, Martha Washington's granddaughter and George Washington's nephew.

George Washington's Mount Vernon is another place of historical beauty. Situated on the banks of the Potomac, it was the plantation home of our nation's first president.

Be Green
Hit the hiking and biking trails NoVa has to offer this month or spend some time in one of the beautiful local parks. Mason District Park in Annandale offers a large natural area, playground, tennis courts and playing fields. While in Annandale, you can also visit Hidden Oaks Nature Preserve set within the 52 acre Annandale Community Park.

In nearby Burke, Centreville and Clifton, you'll find many beautiful outdoor attractions like Burke Lake, Hemlock Overlook Regional Park, Cox Farms and Bull Run Regional Park.

Be Spoiled
Northern Virginia is also home to some of the best shopping in the area. If retail therapy is on your spring break to-do list, head to Tysons Galleria or Tysons Corner Center in McLean or the shops at Fairfax Square in Vienna.

As a resident of Northern Virginia, I know how nice it is to call this area home. Contact me today for more information on purchasing a home in one of these great communities!

I happily serve the areas of Alexandria, Annandale, Arlington, Burke, Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fairfax City, Falls Church, Great Falls, Herndon, Lake Ridge, McLean, Mount Vernon, Reston, Rosslyn, Springfield, Tyson’s Corner and Vienna.
