[quote=Anonymous]hmm.  Don't worry about daycare- something will work out.  You will be able to get a home day care spot or a nanny share.  
Have you used the metro trip planner?

I would try a trip from a few different locations.  I wouldn't necessarily assume that being in parts of Arlington is faster than being in Reston- if you are looking at public transit.  For example I plugged in from Wiehle metro (Reston) to Georgetown Hospital- I got a commute of 87 minutes.  Then I tried Shirlington library (south arlington) to Georgetown Hospital and also got a commute of 87 minutes.  South Arlington is also going to be substantially worse for your husband- b/c he will have to get across Arlington, then start heading out 267.

Setting aside prices, it seems like an ideal location would be McLean, near Chain bridge.  You can drive down Chain Bridge Road, and across Chain Bridge, for a pretty quick commute to Georgetown Hospital.  He can drive out 123 to 267.

I know you mentioned biking to work?  This could be a good way to get there depending on your physical fitness, need for shower and accessibility of shower, what type of clothing you wear at work, willingness to bike in all weather.  But I would think carefully about the realism of this plan.
