Not that there's anything wrong with Wegs :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-w1-year-old-in-northern-virginia-burbs#post-2613153 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 07:34:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2613153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked the zoo and the trails in Reston. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-w1-year-old-in-northern-virginia-burbs#post-2613139 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 06:43:21 +0000 catomd00 2613139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Busybeesplay.com </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-w1-year-old-in-northern-virginia-burbs#post-2613117 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 02:15:52 +0000 Pumuckl 2613117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great Falls NP is really great scenery and easy to walk, push a stroller. There was an amazing playground near Langley, I don't recall the name though. (We're not local either, we visit friends there occasionally).</p> <p>ETA: the playground is Clemyjontri Park. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-w1-year-old-in-northern-virginia-burbs#post-2612773 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 13:45:58 +0000 abmamma 2612773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@extrasprinkles: northern VA has a lot of great parks/playgrounds! I am not sure exactly how far some of these are fromReston and whether they all hit the 20 minute drive mark but some ideas include: Frying Pan Farm park (a farm!), Burke Lake park (carousel and train to ride), Clemyjontri (huge/accessible playground with carousel- in McLean so may be a bit further). Meadowlark Botanical Gardens is nearby which is nice too. And Reston Town Center has lots of shops/places to eat. That exhausts my knowledge of the area (I live in a different part of NoVa) but hopefully some other local Bees can help too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-w1-year-old-in-northern-virginia-burbs#post-2612459 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 08:24:50 +0000 extrasprinkles 2612459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I will be traveling to the Northern Virginia/DC area next month with our 14 month old. For a whole slew of reasons, we'll be spending our weekdays in suburbia with a home base in Reston. Does anyone have any recommendations for fun places to take our semi-walking little guy?</p> <p>We'll have a car and our LO can probably/hopefully handle car rides of 20 minutes or so. Playground, park, amazing library, cool indoor space, we're open to all of it. We're not very familiar with the area at all - everything is just a new name on a map to us at this point! </p> <p>Thank you!! :happy: </p>
