Fairfax Farm Park

Having grown up on/around farms, it was a little bizarre to drive a half hour from our house to a working farm that's been turned into a Fairfax County Park. The kids liked seeing the animals and sitting on the tractors, and seeing the powdery dirt inside the barns brought back great memories from my grandfather and Aunt Marilyn's farms in Sinking Spring. I couldn't help but imagine what Willard Babb or my Aunt Marilyn would say about the farm park, with a parking lot lined with luxury SUVs with Ivy league school stickers on their back windows (as opposed to old F150s and rusted out IH Scouts with cracked windows), located pissing distance from strip mall hell and $750k McMansions... I'm pretty sure Aunt Marilyn would, in a lovingly teasing way declare me me a 'City Person', and somehow point to a perfect example of my being 'so smart, but yet so stupid' (with kind, but knowing emphasis of the latter, of course).
