Sending off summer!
I'll be the first to say that saying goodbye to summer is never fun. What are your favorite ways to end the season? Before the summer ends, make sure you soak up all the seasonal fun! Find a few things to do below before fall arrives.
1.Take a hike- All over NOVA.
Take a breather beyond your backyard with this local trails. The trails include hikes in Bluemont, McLean, Alexandria, and one right in Prince William County! Make sure to bring a hiking buddy, maybe your furry friend if the trail allows!

2. Go on a Safari- Reston, Virginia
This Here is a way to get in your animal fix while many Zoo's remain closed. Head on over to Roer's Zoofari in Reston, where you can drive through the zoo. You'll be able to look for giraffes, camels, bison, and more to come right up to your car.

3.Find shark teeth- Montross, VA
Shark week on TV has nothing on this beach. Grab a sifter and hunt for sharks teeth in Westmoreland state park. The kid-friendly beach and its surrounding land in Westmoreland County was under water millions of years ago, and—while the sharks that once swam there are gone (we hope!)—the fossils of their teeth are still there. Scoop up sand in the water and see what you can find. If you’re lucky, you’ll find one of the rare Megalodon teeth, which can be as big as a human hand. Visitors are allowed to take the shark teeth home that they find


4.Snap some views- Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive—a 105.5-mile road through Shenandoah National Park—was constructed in the 1930s as a scenic destination, consisting of 75 overlooks. This summer, the majority of the national park’s amenities are open, as it is in the midst of a phased reopening. If you choose to cruise through Skyline Drive in the coming weeks, consider stopping at some of the noteworthy overlooks for a photo-worthy shot!
