To answer the question, my vote is for western Loudoun/northern Fauquier. Small villages, a small market town (Middleburg), beautiful farms, and mountain views. There's parts of rural central Maryland that could come close, maybe the area north of Brunswick.

I still don't understand the hate towards calling the region the "DMV."

No kidding. Especially if you are trying to say McLean is bucolic! Wow.
No, it's definitely not!

+1000-- "DMV" is a stupid name, and it's already been taken by Departments of Motor Vehicles everywhere.
Also, it places the District first but suggests that "M" and "V" are of equal significance. Bullshit.
Third, I understand there's a previous-generation GoGo association that's part of this, too, and... well... there's a place for commemorating the relevant moment in time, but we're only talking about a few decades in the second half of the 20th century. That's not my city, and frankly, I think the pre-1950 city was far more interesting.
You have a point. M and V are of greater significance than D in this region now, and have been for quite a while.
You don't really even have a cave to crawl back into, when you think about it. More like a molehill

I hate the term DMV, unless used to refer to the Department of Motor Vehicles. I'm 31, and don't consider myself a grandma yet. I did, however, grow up in the DC metro area.

Well, yes, but there are an awful lot of them, if you haven't noticed. And is the Washington Post a newcomer? What about the rest of the media in the area? No need to get your panties up in a bunch, grandma. It's merely a term that recognizes the unique importance of the close-in suburbs in a city that is otherwise untethered to a state.
Great falls, Potomac, or if you are talking really further out, Annapolis or any of the wine country areas of Virginia along route 66. It is beautiful and quite peaceful out there.

What adult replies "SNORT?!" (a mean mommy replies with a SNORT! not very lady-like for the record)! And then several others give a +1 ? HONESTLY! Bucolic - look it up -
bu·col·ic

adjective
adjective: bucolic
1.of or relating to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country life.
"the church is lovely for its bucolic setting"
P.S. If you google it - Wikipedia will tell you how to PRONOUNCE the word so you can woo all of your friends at the club with your new addition to your vocabulary!

You are quoting a four year old article, pretending to be "au courant"?
