[quote=Anonymous]We've been back and forth to D.C. three different times.  We always have a good time for the two years we are there.  But we are always more than ready to leave when it's time.  We left about a year ago assuming we would be back in the next couple of years.  My husband works for the Federal Gov't and in order to continue to promote, we have to do our time in D.C.  He is a 15 now.  And we are supposed to move back at the end of the year.  I think we've decided not to go back.  My husband is happy with his job here.  And he has the option of staying in the position.  We love our community.  We love the schools.  We love the (much) lower cost of living.  No traffic.  No hellish commute.  No insanely over-competitive parents.  The people are friendlier.  Our community is very safe.  My kids are happier and less stressed out.  We live on the water.  I can be at the beach in less than 10 minutes.

We made the best of living in D.C.   I always had lots of friends.  And we enjoyed all the neat things that the area has to offer.  But we still viewed our time there as a necessary evil.  We did it to check the box.  And then we left.[/quote]
