#87 – Watch the Fireworks on the 4th of July
There are several spots in Arlington where you can see the fireworks on the National Mall. I like Lady Byrd Johnson park although traffic can be bad and parking along the GW Parkway is no longer permitted. Long Bridge Park has been a frequent location for family friendly Fourth of July celebrations. Stay Arlington offers these suggestions for the best places to watch the fireworks in Arlington. What are your favorite spots to watch the 4th of July fireworks?
#86 – Visit the Ball-Sellers House
Arlington’s oldest surviving house, Ball-Sellers House, at 5620 Third Street South is open Saturdays from 1-4 April-October. The original one-room cabin with loft was built in 1742. It offers a rare view of what an ordinary person’s house from the 1700’s was like.
#85 – Tuckahoe Home & Garden Tour
Don’t miss Tuckahoe’s Elementary School’s Annual Home and Garden Tour, an annual fundraiser to benefit the Tuckahoe Discovery Schoolyard, typically held in mid-late May. A recent tour featured nine homes, 1 home/garden combo and 1 garden. Visit the website at www.tuckahoetour.org, or on Facebook for more information.
