[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you won't get the pace of HK or London in DC, even in the most urban parts.  I grew up here and think it gets bashed unnecessarily, but it's not a very big city.  That said, the wealthier neighborhoods are much more of a pressure cooker than the Midwest (I went to college in Chicago and spent about 7 years there total).  So, if you want to avoid that you can, but then you have to be prepared for people to tell you your kids' schools suck, blah blah.  NWDC is lovely and friendly to people who can afford to live there.  But maybe that's a good middle ground between where you are now and the excitement you've had in the past?[/quote]

Thanks so much and love the comparison to the larger cities. Probably a good thing to have less of a buzz with small kids. I just fondly remember living in the international cities, but that was all pre-kids. We've tried to make the Midwest work. We've lived in five houses in seven years LOL, but we are just bored. We joke that our weekends involve driving to shopping centers or anywhere else. Just living in the car, which I hate. So boring and winter lasts more than half of the year![/quote]
