[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Our kids' activities are either at or near their school, at [b]WGCC[/b], or way out in the Virginia countryside. No one has shunned friendship with my children because they have to cross a bridge to see them.[/quote]

Maybe your kids are still young so you havent yet seen how much this will affect their social and sports lives.  First, WGCC is not a place people at DC priavtes belong to - its either Chevy or Congressional.  The one private school family from VA that we know that joined WGCC did it to try and get their kids some friends in VA (all neighbors went to publics and had their school friends).  The WGCC gambit didnt work.  Summer at the pool or courts or course just werent enough to make real freindships like those they have with their school friends.  Those folks moved to DC in the end.  So much for WGCC.

The kids in DC and MD also dont go out to the VA Countryside for activties.  If they ride they go to RockCreek or Potomac.  As for sports:  soccer, lax, footbal, baseball, with the exception of Madlax, which is still only a tiny group compared to the kids who play for the DC and/or MD clubs or rec leagues, all the most popular sports etams amnd leagues are, again, in DC and/or MD.  Your kids' are going to want to have their out of school activities with their school friedns.  It is only natural.  [/quote]

Now you sound like you're trying too hard.  Try not to strain anything.[/quote]
