[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from Boston area and I feel like people didn't tend to weekend on the Cape islands (they did weekend on the Cape). I'm surprised if many DCers are weekending on the islands. [/quote]

No one said "many."  The question was where wealthy people spend their weekends.  I know wealthy people who have houses on the Vineyard or Nantucket (as well as Kiawah or wherever), and who go up for weekends (as well as longer stretches). It's actually easier for many DC people who are lawyers or lobbyists who work in and around Capitol Hill.  Unlike businesses in other cities, people in DC here often get every federal holiday off, and people who work with Capitol Hill are often able to leave town during the Congressional recesses (usually the week after any federal holiday and the entire month of August, etc).

We used to have a house that was as far away as the Vineyard, and we would go at least once a month.  We sold it after the kids got into elementary school and it became to hard to go without taking them out of school.  Once they're out of school, we'll probably buy another house.  [/quote]
