If you need some last minute items or forgot them at home or just want to shop till you drop, Tyson's Corner Mall will have everything you need! The Tyson's area not only has multiple shopping stores but the area is surrounded by amazing restaurants and cafes.
This local brewery is definitely a local one and right near our family's home in Sterling, VA. Crooked Run is also sharing space with Nectar that sells delicious cocktails, Senor Ramon tacos, and J&J Pizza. Definitely one of our favorite places for date night or to get together with friends and family.
If you have an extra day in the area we recommend to go sightseeing in the city! Washington D.C. is about a 40-45 minute drive from the Sterling area. October will be a great time to walk the National Mall with all the Monuments and with the beautiful fall foliage.
