This Halloween we went to the haunted attraction Madhaunter’s Madhouse in Lorton. This is an indoor and outdoor maze of terror with custom made special effects. While waiting in a long line, we saw some monsters roaming among visitors.

This Saturday, Dave and I joined the Anytime Fitness staff for a Halloween Fitness Field Day at the Manchester Lakes Park. Dave has held a membership to this gym for a while and we attend some events organized by its staff. Today, there were many fun activities such as sack races, tug of war, bobbing for apples, and more. Every participant had a chance to earn raffle tickets for prices either for participation in a game or in a costume contest. A Monster has arrived.

This year we decided to attend Night of the Living Zoo, the adult-only event at the National Zoo in Washington DC. It is a popular annual Halloween party with animal demonstrations, fire dancers, illusionists, live music, Halloween décor and more. By 7 P.M. we were at the National Zoo entrance.
We visited Virginia Safari Park 3 years ago and were really impressed with this unique place. My previous posts can be found here, here and here. Therefore, we decided to repeat this experience again while it was still nice and warm. In 2015, FamilyFun magazine named Virginia Safari Park a Top 10 Animal Attraction in the United States, based on a survey of 2,000 parents.
This is Virginia’s largest, and only drive-thru zoo! 3 miles of safari roads wind through the beautiful Shenandoah Valley countryside, where visitors can have a close look at the animals in a natural environment. Feeding animals from the car window is so much fun!
In addition to the drive-through safari, the park has a Village Walk-Thru that includes a small zoo and a Tiger Territory. For a hands-on or up-close experience, the village also has a petting area with farmyard animals, a kangaroo “walk-about,” a budgie adventure aviary, and a giraffe feeding station.
