[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hated the sameness of the suburbs growing up around DC.  We’re in NYC and I see my kids with so many more diverse interests and rich lives living in the city as compared to what I had growing up.    [/quote]

+1.  We are in DC.  My son is 7.  It’s incredible the experiences he has had on so far that I never had in the suburbs, that his similar age cousin doesn’t have in the burbs.

We just went to the Philips Collection Friday for their 100th anniversary.  He did some amazing arts and craft activities.  My favorite was an activity based on Alma Thomas work and then we went to the gallery to actually see the art piece.  Lots of family friendly events at the Kennedy center, Smithsonian, etc…

Above is just 1 example but the cultural, artistic, musical, theater exposure is just incredible.  There’s always lots of things like above going on for families.

And half the kids and families there are from McLean, Arlington, Bethesda, Potomac.  Just a metro ride away.  [/quote]
