We hit the ground running during our househunting trip last week. We arrived in DC on Saturday and looked at houses that afternoon. It took three days of looking, in many different Northern Virginia (NOVA) neighborhoods and at 20+ houses, but we found "The One" on the third day. It's a townhouse in Ashburn, VA - about 30 miles from DC and 20 miles from Tyson's Corner (where Ethan will be working). The house is in a subdivision that includes a pool, biking/walking trails, basketball/tennis courts and is very green and full of trees. It's a big change from our little Brooklyn brownstone but a change we are very excited about. More space! Closets! A yard! A deck! Yay!
Closing isn't until Aug 26 and the movers come tomorrow to pack up our stuff and take it to storage. Ethan, Luna and I will be living in an extended stay hotel in Tyson's for 26 days starting Saturday. While Ethan is at work, I will be job searching and looking for things to do in Tyson's. Fun times.
Oh, and we also bought two Honda's in Roanoke during our Virginia visit. We are doing our share to help the housing and auto industries.
