It's a suburb of DC basically. Mt. Vernon is right up the road to the northeast and Quantico Marine Corps base is to the south. It was crowded when I was stationed at Quantico in 1990, can't imagine how crowded it would be now. Lots of civil war history in the area and of course all the DC stuff.

Cousin of my Mother owns Dawson's Sporting Goods on Rt 1 in Woodbridge. Pretty nice supply of outdoor stuff. I'd go to the Marine Corp museum then head to the Smithsonian. Air & Space at Dulles is pretty nice, & Manassas National Battlefield Park if time allows. 163bc

It's called "hoodbridge" for a reason.
USMC museum is a must !
Air and space in Dulles, NRA in Fairfax.
I would stay outside of hoodbridge and drive in.
(traffic sucks no matter what, commute against if possible)

I miss the Northern Virginia I pretty much grew up in...
But that was a very long time ago, when the population was about a zillion per cent less....
Was a great place back in those days...

I miss the Northern Virginia I pretty much grew up in... Same here. I drifted in and out of Northern Virginia during my childhood due to my dad's military service. I even still semi-liked it when I was stationed there in 1990-1991. Now it just depresses me to go back, so crowded and so many nutjobs. It's become just another northeastern craphole. It was once a great place.
