Rosslyn is the last stop in VA before going into DC. Once you are here, you can walk around and have some lunch and then walk over the bridge into Georgetown. It is a part of Arlington that is busy during the week and slower on the weekends because it's more of a business district but it is super close to DC and Georgetown!
