[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May I introduce you to the time-honored entertainment for old people: Taking A Drive. You don't actually leave the house with a productive destination or even an agenda. Rather, this is a way to run out the clock until dinner and give the sandwich generation a break from actively entertaining.

Take A Drive through Middleburg and The Plains and marvel at the estates. Take A Drive to Sugarloaf Mountain or Skyline Drive and marvel at the foliage (or the open views created by lack thereof). Take A Drive around Georgetown or Annapolis and marvel at the historic architecture.

Make the trip as long or short as you want. Hell, you can Take A Drive to your kids' school or past that house three streets over with all the holiday inflatables in the yard. With the exception of a helpful potty/snack break for the very young and very old, you don't need to buy tickets, worry about crowds or even get out of the car. Think of it as a very long, scenic, and sedate amusement park ride.[/quote]

Here’s a destination. Take a drive to the Red Truck Bakery in Marshall Virginia to buy a pie. It’s cute, it’s easy in and out, it’s a mission, and you will get pie to boot. Maybe order in advance so you get what you want.

Their granola is fabulous. I ordered a ton of it one year for gift giving. And unless things changed over COVID, they have a small menu with sandwiches, etc.

The Festival of Lights in Bull Run is drive thru and a nice activity. https://www.novaparks.com/events/bull-run-festival-of-lights
