Things to Do In Northern Virginia 2010

Once again it's a busy fall season in Northern Virginia with a ton of things to do. In fact, almost every weekend is jam packed. So get your calendar out and start planning. This is by no means a complete list but it reflects some of our very favorite people and places.

Fall is also a great time to buy a house. Don't be discouraged by what you are hearing on the news. Talk to a local real estate agent and get specific information about neighborhoods, prices, days on the market, financing, etc. Don't forget that all real estate is local, local, local. Call me at 703.927.4554, I'd love to help you.
