dc (re)discoveries



Noah turning 1 reminded us that we've already been a year back in DC!

Time to capture a few things we love about living here:

  • Our home! Especially the big garden for the three critters to run around, and discover bunnies, squirrels, butterflies and other bugs ;-)
  • Our neighborhood - so green and leafy (fall colors are stunning here!), with many young families, doggies, nearby woods & trails for Penny and the kids to explore... yet only a 15 minute drive into town
  • Reconnecting with a lot of old friends (with new babies now too ;-)
  • Seasons! It's nice to see the change in nature (ok, minus 90 degree summer heat and humidity... and a few too many snowstorms ;-)
  • The small town feel combined with international big world exposure to all the embassies, expats and languages
  • All the fun things to do, especially with kids (farms, woods and trails, the beach and bay are all just a drive away while the city has so much theater, music, festivals, free Smithsonian museums... to offer)
  • East Coast sports
  • Both families closer by!
