1.) Go see the special Parallel Universe Exhibit at ARTECHOUSE in Washington, D.C.! Parallel Universe – which is comprised of 3-D motion-mapped projections and light installations – incorporates science, mathematics, astrology, and artistic talent to form something truly one-of-a-kind. Created by an internationally acclaimed media studio, this retrospective solo exhibit is described as “visually and aurally mesmerizing” and said to be a “multi-sensory experience unlike anything.”

2.) Need ideas for Family Fun Night? Sign up for a cooking class at Sur La Table in Arlington, Virginia! Spend some quality time with the fam making (and taste-testing) Peanut Butter Jelly and Sandwich Cookies, Chocolate Dump-It Cake, and a Buttermilk Dutch Baby with Caramelized Pears. (Plus, participants will receive a coupon for 10% off in-store purchases made the day of the class – so if you’re interested in continuing your culinary endeavors at home, you can get a sweet deal on some cool kitchen gadgets.)

3.) Pay a visit to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia! They’re home to a diverse collection of masterpieces that will win the approval of any admirer of the arts, including several interesting traveling exhibits. After you take a look around the museum, unwind at their café, which overlooks the Robins Sculpture Garden (if you come in the evening, they’ll have a musician there playing jazz for you to listen to). Oh, and did I mention that they have free admission?

4.) Listen to Montreàl Guitar Trio (MG3) at the Forbes Center for Performing Arts in Harrisonburg, Virginia! This Canadian ensemble has produced over 8 different albums and played at prestigious venues around the world – including Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and New York City’s BB King Blues Club. MG3 was dubbed as “the hottest guitar ensemble” by the CBC for a reason: they combine their unbridled passion for music with an exotic flair that defies description. The result? Songs that are music to our ears.

5.) Do you find yourself super stressed or burnt out? Treat your self to a day at Jouvence Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa, right here at Reston Town Center! Relax with a soothing massage and a complimentary cup of their signature licorice and peppermint tea. Maybe while you’re there, you can even indulge in a mani-pedi or get your hair done (I mean, why not?). Their super-attentive staff will have you feeling refreshed, invigorated, and more like your beautiful self.
