what were your thoughts?
I did go out on the 1st silver train from courthouse. The views as the train approaches the McLean station are very impressive. I also like the aviation look of the new stations as well. Lots of bus connections at the Reston station if one has a need to go places other than Reston. What I really like is the fact that one can go the the Air & Space museum at Dulles airport with just a simple bus connection (every 20 or 30 minutes during opening hours). For a family it still makes sense to drive, but for solo visitors, a much need improvement. Lastly, no new cars on the line at the moment. And, it is a looong way to Reston. I thought going out to Franconia was a long trip. Add another 10 minutes.
As for resturant week, any one interested in a lunch instead of dinner, even a weekend lunch? I am very flexible.
