Movies and Music to Carry You Through the Dog Days of Summer

Living in Reston where a typical July afternoon reaches 90+ degrees, you really get to understand the meaning of “the dog days of summer.” As busy as the real estate market has been it’s still a great time of year to slow down and just enjoy the company of family and friends.

I especially love sitting outside and listening to good music or losing myself in a classic movie. Reston offers multiple opportunities for you to do just that. Here is the August schedule of movies and music at Reston Town Center and Lake Anne Plaza. Perhaps I’ll see you at one of them...
