If you're a late planner like me, chances are you may have no plans yet for Memorial Day Weekend. Here are a few suggestions that may help you:


The National Memorial Day Concert - Washington, D.C. May 27th

Viva Vienna - Vienna, VA May 26th, 27th and 28th

The Virginia Renaissance Faire in Spotsylvania - Weekends May 12th through June 10th.

The Delaplane Strawberry Festival in Delaplane - May 26th and 27th

National College Dance Festival - the Kennedy Center

Or of course, you can always visit a local winery....Virginia Wine

Whatever you do, have a fantastic weekend!

Cinco de Mayo weekend in NoVA

There are more than a few exciting events happening this weekend in Northern Virginia that you may or may not have heard about. Here is a small sampling of  some events that sound very interesting for folks all over the Virginia, Maryland & DC area. Click on the links for more information.

1. Super Moon Saturday May 5th - The moon will be at it's closest point to the earth, producing what sounds like a glorious show

This is by no means a comprehensive listing, but we are excited to share it anyway. As my Star Wars loving husband would say "May the 4th be with you".

Weekend Events

Are you looking for something to do this weekend in the DC area? I happened across a few suggestions that sounded interesting, and I thought I would share them. Whatever you choose to do, I hope you have a fantastic weekend!


First - if you are a science fan, you should definitely check out this event.
USA Science & Engineering Festival
Not only will they have Robots, Virtual Reality and cool hands-on experiments for the kids; but Adam Savage & Jaime Hyneman the Mythbusters will be there today at 1. If you like to watch them blow stuff up as much as I do, you may want to be there today well before 1 so you can see what they have to say.  The festival runs Saturday 10-6 and Sunday from 10-4.


If you prefer to stay in Northern Virginia there is a wine festival at Reston Town Center this Saturday and Sunday from 12-6. Any festival that advertises with "uncork yourself and uncork the fun" wins points for creative slogan writing. Plus...they'll have wine. Oh, and a moon-bounce for the kids.


In Fairfax this weekend a friend of ours sent us a flyer for this fundraiser for Relay For Life. There will be live music and some very exciting raffles, and it's all for a good cause!
