Silver Spring

There's a perfect balance where we live. South of our apartment is the urban, downtown area with all the shops and restaurants. North of our apartment is a residential area with lots of homes, parks, and open space.

The view to the west


The residential area northeast of our apartment. Walking around the neighborhood reminded me of North Haven


Sligo Creek Park. Two blocks north of our apartment
  


Cityplace at Silver Spring. 1 block south of our apartment. On the weekend, they shut down Ellsworth drive to cars for 3 blocks so that people can walk around the shops/restaurants freely. On Saturday mornings they have a farmer's market here

Wow- it's really beautiful there in the autumn! Brian applied for American University Washington School of Law; we'd be REALLY lucky if he got in because it has such an amazing human rights program (it's a tough school to get in to. Still, it was worth a try). I'm not sure, is that anywhere close to you guys?

That's awesome that Brian is applying to American University. I hear it's a really good school. Good luck to him! How neat would it be if we ended up in the same area! American University is about 15 minutes away from where we live.

Oh that's so close! That would be really great, but like I said, it's one of those schools that would be amazing if he got in, but we're not really depending on it. It's sort of above us. :/ Applying to schools is torture!

What a beautiful place to live. I am jealous that you get to live back east!
