Lastly- the National Building Museum in DC has a fun indoor play area for kids, the Building Zone. Plus there is a ton of room to run around inside. http://www.nbm.org/exhibitions-collections/exhibitions/building-zone.html

I just wanted to say that this is a great website. We are new to the area (also moved here in ’09) and have been looking for things to do. When you are new to an area, it isn’t easy to know where to go, what to do, etc. Our son is 2, so we will definitely be checking in on your website.
Also, I am a food blogger, and I have a section for kids if you are ever looking for new foods to try on your little one! Take care!

Hi Chastity! There are no play structures for kids there (playground, etc). However, there is a ton of room to run and play. I would bring balls, bubbles, and trikes, and the kids will have a great time.

Hi! I really love the look of your site and the layout! I just started a site called “Super NOVA Mommy.” It focuses on free and cheap children’s activities in the Northern VA area. Right now I feel like it is very heavily focused on FFX County (where I live,) but as time goes on, I want to add more Arlington activities. (I lived in Arlington for 2 years…pre children.) I would love to put up a link to your blog under my blogroll. Please check out http://www.supernovamommy.com and you can also “like” me on facebook.
