[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted to be able to walk or metro to work (I walk).

I wanted to be able to walk or metro to my childs school (my husband metros).

I wanted to be able to walk or metro to playground (we walk).

I wanted to be able to walk or metro to entertainment (we walk to dining, museums, etc.)  We walk to grocery store.

[i]Yeah right[/i] you walk to museums. Which museums are those, exactly?

P.S. I walk to all that stuff from my N Arlington house and I'm probably closer to the Smithsonian that you  :lol: [/quote]

Walkable museums from DC neighborhoods:

Hillwood Museum near Van Ness
Phillips Collection - Dupont
Nat Geographic Museum - Dupont
Dumbarton House - Georgetown

I bet there are a few more near Dupont.  The PP didn't say Smithsonian.  But all of those are walkable DC museums depending on where you live.  But other than the Phillips (which I have been to many times) the others I have only been to once.[/quote]

Seriously?? Those are the ones?  I used to live in Dupont and I went to those a few times.

With school age boys we are generally on a sporting field all weekend...and while we also have 2 Farmers Markets walking distance to our VA home--it generally is much more practical to feed growing boys Whole Foods, Costco, etc.  the weekly farmers market is for treats--it would not sustain my household.

I am going to throw it out there---you don't have elementary or older kids.  Even Rec soccer (not yet travel) our on fields all over the district ;most not walkable or near Metros.  Will you zip car every single weekend to get your kids to a game?
