[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Norfolk, VA. Great houses, lots of restaurants and things to do, we can walk to the beach. I never stop being amazed that when I go downtown I can find a parking spot in front of the restaurant/museum. There are some "red staters" and it was a bit of a culture shock but overall we're happy here and plan to stay. [/quote]

I just came on here to say the same thing!  We moved to Norfolk, we built a house on the water so we can have our toes in the sand within 30 seconds of opening our front door, our commutes are short, we work right next to each other so we can actually have lunch during the week (as opposed to before when one of us worked downtown and the other worked in VA), and we are so happy.  Our quality of life has increased dramatically.  We have so much more time to spend together and with our kids.  And we get to go to the beach basically every day if it isn't raining or freezing cold.  My firm has an office here so I moved laterally.  My husband's job allows him to work remotely and travel, which is what he did in DC anyway.  I haven't seen more Trump stickers on cars here (and definitely not in my neighborhood) than I did in NoVA, and our friend circle is very similar to the one we had before.  Literally the only con to our move is that we miss our kids' old school, although we're very happy with their new one.  We don't miss anything else about DC.[/quote]
