BillyVance 34 #2 March 20, 2008 Lots of Civil War attractions there. Maybe one night you can sit out in the fields where the battles were fought and tell us if you heard or saw anything strange. http://www.manassascity.org/ "Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shredder 0 #10 March 20, 2008 Depending on how much time you have, you could drive into Washington DC, or drive to the Springfield VA Metro (train) station and take the Metro into DC. Walk around the monuments and Smithsonians. (They're open according to the websites) You're only 33 miles away in Manassas and it's well worth the trip! Or, go visit the Manassas civil war battlefield and see where Stonewall Jackson got his name!Learn from the past - don't live in it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kschilk 0 #16 March 20, 2008 Not sure how Good Friday will affect the tourist attractions but there's plenty to do there. Aside from the Manassas battlefields, it's a short ride to several of the other battlefields and if you're really into that stuff, Gettysburgh is about an hour and a half to two hours drive. You'll be in the Blue Ridge Mountains and there are several caverns in the area. Luray Caverns is probably the closest and in my op, the best of them....that's the one that has the "Stalac-pipe Organ". If you're into a nice drive, you're at the very north end of the Blue Ridge Parkway/Skyline Drive. The scenery is outstanding and there are pull-offs, where you can stop and look across the Shenandoah Valley (sunrise & sunsets are awesome). As others have said, you're handy to D.C. and the convenient "park & ride" system. Fredricksburg is less than an hour away....Williamsburg , Yorktown and VA Beach are from about 2 hours to 3 hours drive, respectively. If you've got a ride and the time, it's well worth the trip....the Colonial Parkway (from Williamsburg to Yorktown) is a scenic drive and there's plenty to see, in both Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown."T'was ever thus."
