ok she's up for the 7:30 fireworks yay! just need to figure out where to eat after.

You can still get reservations for 2 at Lucky Strikes in Tysons. Go bowling. My 15 yo would prefer that over these ideas.

But honestly, I have two teens and one has plans that fell through. We are making a bunch of appetizers and all just staying home and watching the NYE shows on TV.

Washington monument is lit up starting at 7. Maybe to see it, come home and make cookies and watch a movie.

Falls Church has a Watch Night celebration -- free admission to lots of concerts and other activities all within walking distance of each other. Ball drop at midnight.

maybe old town fireworks if not too old for it

Not sure if they have this in Arlington, but in Rockville they have stores like Miniso that she might like perusing https://www.miniso-us.com/ and a claw machine place nearby. Get dinner out and do stuff like that, come home and watch a movie

Go out to dinner and then come home and play board games.
