[quote=Anonymous]We moved from DC to ASHBURN! YES ASHBURN!  We both work in Reston, so it was a huge improvement in our commute.  One of our good friends move from capitol hill LEESBURG! The HORRORS!

We do not see many of our friends unless we make a hurculean effort, since we work out here and there really is no need for us to go even as far east as Tysons.

However, our circle of friends has expanded so much.  We were already a young family (by DC standards having kids in our late 20s) and it is so nice to be around a bunch of young families with young kids. No offense to anyone on here, but it's cool to be able to hang out with people our own age. We have met so many people through our kids and spend a lot of time over at people's homes. As a matter of fact once a month we take our neighbors kids overnight on a Saturday and vice versa so the adults can have a night out and the kids and have a sleep over with their friends. It is such a community of young people and so many of them are transplants from DC proper or inside the beltway.

So no, we have not lost our friends, but we do have a ton of new friends. We are even heading to the OBX this summer with 3 other families and renting a house…for us it's been that kind of experience.[/quote]
