Winter seems to be settling in with highs in the 60's and lows in the 30's. Not much rain but the winds have been cold and nasty. We still can feel the sun by mid day and are very thankful for that. Next week seems to be about the same and as for tonight Halloween should go rather smoothly with a temp in the 40's.

Lots of football games this weekend and Backyard Grill & Bar is the place to be. Located within walking distance from our property here at Comfort Suites; they offer 15% off your check when you present your room key. Backyard offers specials during all pro games with $5.00 appetizers and bar specials too.

Looks like a wonderful weekend ahead for Northern Va. We have had some rain the last couple of days but now everything is clearing up with high hopes for clear skies and light winds today, tomorrow and Sunday. Highs of 71 degrees and then 75 on Monday. It is really starting to feel like fall out there so take my advice and wear a light jacket or sweatshirt; even a pair of gloves and cap if you plan to be out in the evening.

Other news is that gas prices here went down; lowest that I have seen located right across the street from us is Raceway at $3.49 per gallon. That is good news for everyone's pockets.

Some info for the sport fanatic, this weekends game list. Who's playing who and where.

NFL: Oct. 4-5th
Seattle @ N.Y. Giants
Washington @ Philadelphia
San Diego @ Miami
Kansas City @ Carolina
Tennessee @ Baltimore
Indianapolis @ Houston
Chicago @ Detroit
Atlanta @ Green Bay
Tampa Bay @ Denver
Cincinnati @ Dallas
Buffalo @ Arizona
New England @ San Francisco
Pittsburgh @ Jacksonville
Minnesota @ New Orleans

You can catch all these games at the local Backyard Bar & Grill! Backyard offers happy hour prices during the games as well as $5.00 specials on appetizers and their fabulous hamburger and cheeseburger platters.
