[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, people leave the dc heat and humidity behind by heading to nearby lakes, beaches, mountains, etc.

People also hop on planes or set out on road trips each summer.

Overall, I like having 4 real seasons. [/quote]

And in some cities, you don't have to have a beach house or fly somewhere to be able to enjoy year-round outdoor activities. That's the point.  DC may have a lot to recommend it, but access to great outdoor opportunities year-round is not really it.  I do appreciate that we have a long temperate season from Feb - June. But the summer is just unbearable.  [/quote]

Where do you live that you are isolated from outdoor fun during the summer?

I’m in MoCo and I’m 45 mins from Annapolis and the water. Plenty to do.

We enjoy minor league and Major League Baseball. Great in the shade of evenings.

We go fishing all over the state as day trips.

Rock Creek park is shady.

We have some brutally hot days each summer, but for the most part the heat is tolerable.

Personally, I always find SF and parts further north too cold. I’m always wearing a coat while the locals are in shorts and t-shirts. [/quote]

+1. If you live anywhere in the DC area and can't make a fun day out of museums, waterfront, Annapolis, Baltimore, Old Town Alexandria, National Harbor, parks and trails and kayaking, shopping and restaurants and theater? Man, you must be depressed or hopelessly dull and lazy. [/quote]
