The kids are already getting Spanish through the dual language program in elementary, so I'd continue with that. If they are highly-competent in Spanish by high school, I would encourage the French. As an Africanist, I kick myself for having zero exposure to French because I spent my entire K-undegrad perfecting my Spanish, which I've now all but lost due to lack of practice.

You never know where life will lead you! You use whatever you have. I wouldn't let DC exposure be the sole determinant here. There are communities of native speakers of a number of languages throughout the area.

While fluent in Spanish, I applied my knowledge to studying literature. Outside of giving directions on the subway in NYC and that one summer in Spain, I didn't use it to speak. It was a fun puzzle when I was a child and a key to exploring literature as I got older.

Consider why you want to study. If it's brain development, either would do. For work, there again, either would be fine.
