| Page Views: 821 Last Visit to Herndon: - I Live Here | Life Begins at Retirement by olddude - last update: Sep 11, 2006 |
Welcome to Herndon As I said on my Okinawa page, I have finally retired and I have made Herndon Virginia my new home. It is a lovely small community that is really a part of of the larger Washington DC metro area. Population is about 25,000 and is located about 10 minutes from the Washington-Dulles International Airport (makes travel very convienant for me:)).
My first impression is that it reminds me somewhat of Monterey California with it's styles of architecture and plethora of resturaunts. It is also located in one of the wealthiest counties in America; again, like Monterey. This means that there is a lot of activities available for the locals and the tourists. Plus the surrounding communities of Reston, Fairfax, and Ashburn (to name a few) have their fair share of entertainment as well. Stay tuned as I explore this place and get settled into my new home. |

Glad all is well. We loved your area when we visited a niece in Burke -would love to go again - will keep your local Tips in hope. I now know why she told us to take the Commuter train in to Washington! Hope it is still running. | gilabrand Sat Feb 14, 2009 19:40 UTC
$88 dollars does sound like a good deal. Gotta remember that.... | Fullmoonfever Sun Jun 1, 2008 17:23 UTC
Hi Al, I know your area well. Wife's famaily is from northern Virginia and she lived all around the DC area. We were going to visit Shenandoah Valley this summer, but the plan fell thru. | BillNJ Sun Apr 20, 2008 18:41 UTC
My brother and his wife live in Alexandria. Thanks for the Asian food tips! Have you ever been to the Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church? That is my favorite restaurant in Northern Virginia! Best from New Jersey, Bill |
