By Metro with Walking:

Kathy's home is approximately 2 miles from the Vienna Metro. If you want a ride from Metro to the house, call 703-206-0458 and we'll figure something out. If you choose to walk, here are the directions:

1. Take your favorite public transportation to the Vienna Metro station.
2. When you exit the turnstiles, bear right out of the station to Saintsbury Drive. If you find you're on Virginia Center Boulevard, you went out the wrong way.
3. Make a left out of the station and follow the road (Sainsbury Dr.)
4. At the light, turn right. You are now walking south on Nutley Street.
5. Cross Hermosa, still heading south..
6. At the intersection of Nutley Street and Lee Highway you'll see the Pan Am Shopping Center on the opposite corner. You'll need to cross both Nutley Street and Lee Highway. Look for a Starbucks; it's in the direction and on the same side of Lee Highway as you want to be on.
7. Follow Lee Highway up the hill, then down the hill past the townhouses.
8. At the bottom of the hill, make a right onto Ellenwood Drive.
9. Go about two blocks' distance and look for Silent Valley Drive on the left.
10. 3027 Silent Valley Drive is on the left. Congratulate yourself for having walked, and ask for a drink!

Parking in Metro lots – SmarTrip cards:
A SmarTrip card is the only form of payment accepted at Metro-operated parking lots. For more information about Metro parking and lot operating hours, see Daily parking at Metro stations.

You may purchase SmarTrip cards online from the Metro Store. (Note: The Metro Store page is on a very slow server so it may take a while for the page to load.)

Standard SmarTrip farecard: A renewable SmarTrip farecard purchased online has a $20 fare value already on it. The cost for the renewable card is $5. The total charge for this card is $25 online.

Senior and Disabled SmarTrip farecard: In order to purchase a discounted farecard, Senior citizens (65 and older) and persons with disabilities must have a valid WMATA Senior/Disabled ID card. (Applications for the free WMATA Senior/Disabled ID card are available from the Office of ADA Programs at 600 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20001 or by calling 202/962-1558, TTY 202/962-2033 and requesting an application be mailed to you.) A renewable SmarTrip farecard for senior and disabled riders purchased online has a $10 fare value already on it. The cost for the renewable card is $5. The total charge for this card is $15 online.

SmarTrip cards may also be purchased from vending machines in Metro stations but come with a lower initial fare value: $5 for the card with a $5 fare value for a total of $10 for the standard farecard. A separate vending machine allows you to add fare value up to $300 to the card.
