by Micaela WilliamsonThe newest show by the Big Apple Circus, METAMORPHOSIS, is coming this month to Dulles Town Center. The show features astonishing acts and startling transformations that will transport you to a realm of enchantment: the thrilling flyers of the trapeze, the rolla-bolla, an act that teeters right on the edge of equilibrium; the diabolo, the whirling double–tops; an aerial space-age acrobatic adventure; camels, horses, and playful pooches; quick-change and contortion; Francesco the Clown, and Ringmaster John Kennedy Kane will summon the spirits of the circus universe to immerse you in the wonder, the joy and the astounding magic of METAMORPHOSIS! Because of animal rights, the Big Apple Circus is the only circus that my family and I will attend! It is truly an amazing, edge of your seat show. We also love that no one sits more than 50 feet from the ring, making it great for everyone to see the action. The Big Top is air-conditioned in warm weather and heated in cold, for all-season comfort. Show details: METAMORPHOSIS, Big Apple Circus Dulles Town Center 45630 Dulles Center Boulevard (at the intersection of Routes 7 and 28) Sterling, VA The show is two hours long including a 15 minute intermission.

Father – Son Road Trip: A review of the Frontier Culture Museum and Natural Bridge Park, VA9/4/2014 by Jay WilliamsonShe left us.
Alone. For the weekend. And not just any weekend, but Labor Day weekend – marking the end of summer and the start of school, possibly the longest of the long weekends. The boys have already done many of the things on Kid Trips’ list of 100 things for Kids to Do in Northern Virginia this summer. I hate traffic, bridges, tolls, tunnels, and any highway ending with a “5.” I need a plan, something epic and worthy of the weekend. A place that will leave them too tired to notice 4 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in a row. I sit down at my computer and open my saved pages to Virginia.org’s list of 11 Award-Winning Virginia Craft Breweries. I think to myself that this may be the most important list I’ll read all month. Reading further I discover the Virginia has four craft beer trails. Devils Backbone Brewing Company and Blue Mountain Brewery both seem like great destinations for a father-son road trip. Unfortunately, while my boys aren’t old enough to drink, they are also too young to drive me home. I need to focus and find something fast, before they wake up. Staring at the map I see my opportunity in the mountains, just off Route 81. By Amy SuskiOur family has been visiting Assateague beach for decades, but it was only in the last four years that we discovered the simple pleasures of staying on its neighboring island Chincoteague, Virginia. You may know Chincoteague as the inspiration for Marguerite Henry's classic book Misty of Chincoteague, but it is also one of the best, most affordable places for a family beach vacation on the eastern shore and was rated the #1 Happiest Seaside Town in 2014 by Coastal Living Magazine. To found out why, read on for Top 10 things my family loves about Chincoteague.
