There is something about July that encourages us to step away from routine, even if only for a weekend. Maybe it is the longer evenings, the sound of summer gatherings, or the simple realization
that the season moves quickly if we are not careful. July reminds us to pause long enough to enjoy where we are, explore somewhere new, and spend time with the people who matter most.
This month’s feature story is centered on weekend getaways close to home. One of the best things about living in Greater Prince William is how many incredible destinations sit just a short drive away. From the history and scenery of Harpers Ferry to the waterfront relaxation of Lake Anna and the energy of Richmond, these trips remind us that adventure does not always require extensive planning or faraway travel. Sometimes a change of scenery for a day or two is enough to recharge and reconnect.
