I live in Fairfax County and anything that lacks Metro rail access will be low on my list of places to visit.

I often visit the USMC Museum, outside the gates of Quantico in Triangle, because I can get there easily with little time spent on I-95. |
Wife, kids and I usually stay at Belvoir when we go to Rolling Thunder. We never had too much problem getting on or around base.
