ISSUE NO. 12 AUTUMN 2019 WASHINGT N Publisher Ten Thirty Media Editors Kimberly Barnes Mike Dunphy Siobhan Higgins Contributors IN THIS ISSUE When the steamy summer swelter has departed, along with the majority of tourists, the D.C. region rolls its sleeves up for business rather than heat, as locals and lawmakers return to work. In the parks and rolling hills surrounding, a different transformation occurs, as bright red, orange, and gold leaves unfurl like butterflies from the chrysalis. In this fall issue of #FlyWashington magazine, we celebrate this majestic metamorphosis, starting with a D.C. Foliage Guide highlighting our favorite spots to capture the color. Then we celebrate the beauty, along with D.C.’s German heritage, with a pint at the best Oktoberfest parties within yodeling distance of downtown. Just be sure to linger in this issue’s neighborhood spotlight — the up-and-coming Reston Town Center that’s home to more than 50 shops and 30 restaurants, several of which are branches of the District’s best eateries, but with a fraction of the crowds. Add history to the mix with daytrips to Alexandria and Middleburg, VA, and Annapolis, MD. For those filled with the spirit of adventure and wings under their feet, take off with #FlyWashington from Dulles and Reagan airports to check out new and favorite direct- flight destinations — south to Sarasota and Ft, Myers, FL; Cancun and Tulum, Mexico; and Sao Paulo, Brazil; west to Charlotte, NC; St. Louis, MO; and Oklahoma City, OK; or east to Munich, Germany.
