[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would choose Dulles or Sterling over Nortth Carolina any day. Your access to DC will not be as limited as some other posters suggest.[/quote]

+1 some DC residents are so entitled. [/quote]

Realistically while your kids are young, in a two full time working parent household, you will go to DC once a month, if that. With up to 1 hr or 1 hr plus commutes, just doing a 40-50 hr job sucks up so much time. But later, if you as a music teacher have a short commute, plus maybe don't need to do 40 hrs every soul sucking week, then you might enjoy what DC has to offer more. With 2 young kids and a 45 hr job with 45-70 min commute each way, my life is so confined to work home errands repeat that I have real resentment towards the mortgage and the 9,000/year in real estate property taxes we pay. I live near DC but do not benefit from what DC offers. We save very little due to COL. I was thinking we could be living in Podunk and our daily lives would be the same. Except Tysons mall. At least I have that nearby (sigh).[/quote]

I dont go near DC. I live in the burbs and make it in MAYBE once a month and its adults only, uber, trashed, uber home.

We spend just about every weekend May-Thanksgiving in the Blue Ridge Mountains. My kids much prefer lake life, hiking, tennis, golf, PYO, and family friendly wineries/breweries to being dragged along with the smelly masses through museums they've been to a bazillion times with out of town guests and on field trips. Snooze.[/quote]

Lake life?[/quote]

I am curious about this as there are no natural lakes in VA or MD!

And what kids likes wineries or breweries ? As a non drinker they are quite boring. But if your kids are full participants well that makes sense. [/quote]
