My most recent vacation away from Reston made me think of where our community is in the world.
To most fully answer the question of where Reston is in the world, I share the following description:

Please let me know if I left out any vital information that you use in finding your way home. I do not recommend that you use this information in directing others to our community, however! If they are coming by air, tell them to fly into Dulles International Airport and take the blue bus to Reston Station, where you will pick them up. If they are driving, have them take the Dulles Toll Road off of I-495, also known as the Capital Beltway.
However they get here, I am sure they will enjoy our Reston community as much as we do!
