\"Ballston\"<\/a>We recently had the opportunity to spend a week in Arlington with a group of fellow travel writers. I spent years working around Ballston Common Mall<\/a><\/b> in my former corporate life and it was good to be able to come back and spend some quality relaxing time here. Close enough to the Washington D.C. sights, but a different energy and vitality entirely.<\/p>\n

Most people know Arlington as site of the Arlington National Cemetery. Definitely worth a visit for anyone who enjoys history or beautiful park-like surroundings. The view from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is fabulous. Plan to spend some time as you will either need to walk to take a shuttle to see all corners of the site. No cars are allowed.<\/p>\n
