[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre-pandemic we were a playground-and-activities family.  We live in a walkable Arlington community and took advantage of the playgrounds and the well known nature areas like Potomac Overlook.  But now that they are off the table, I’m like...a woodland nymph.  At lunch I take off an hour and we head for the creeks.  On the weekends, it’s full-on.  I have a running list on my phone of all the places I see my friends post about on Facebook and that I find on various internet searches, and I can’t believe all the cool places I have NEVER heard of.  Once summer rolls around this will probably end bc my kid and I both despise heat and bugs, but the slightly cool spring days have been absolute perfection.  I can not relate to posts about kids not being outside enough or how to get exercise because I feel like there are so many beautiful and free things to do.  Weird silver lining- there are so many pretty places around here.  [/quote]

OP - to post how amazing your life is now with all these new found places but not have the decency to share despite being asked many times is silly. What's the point of boasting if you're not interested in others learning about all of this wonderfulness also? #SELFISH[/quote]
