She will be living there permanently. I remember about the times I moved when I was single, or after my husband and I got married, we did everything by mail and phone calls. Now things have become so easy! The internet has made looking for an apartment almost as easy as just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Our daughter is currently click, click, clicking through\u00a0D.C.&#8217;s different metro (subway) stations, &#8220;walkability&#8221; ratings, tenant reviews, neighborhood police reports, let&#8217;s face it, everything! She is coming up with a list of apartment complexes she thinks look promising. My husband and I are then going to fly out and check out the complexes and their areas. We&#8217;ve done this before, but this time we decided that since she will be doing all of her commuting to and from work via the metro, we&#8217;re going to do the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>This should be interesting! The last time I was on a subway was in Boston (the &#8220;T&#8217; in Boston), and let me tell you, I was a little disillusioned with what I saw going on! Let&#8217;s just say that the subway today is a whole lot different than from what you might see in an old black and white movie! (Did they even have subway systems back then?!?) I was surprised to see men and women of all ages sitting on the T while eight-month pregnant women were forced to stand. Hmmm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Even though our daughter won&#8217;t be moving for several months, my husband and I have discussed D.C.&#8217;s hot summer months, so we are planning on going during April. When our children were little we lived in Maryland for a while, so this will be a going-home of sorts for us. However, it\u00a0will be our first trip to neither rent a car nor take our own, so this might prove to be &#8230; hmmm&#8230; fun.
