I was fortunate to spend most of the year in Washington, D.C., and enjoyed a lot of freedom to get on a bus (by myself at 2nd or 3rd grade!!} and go uptown to the Zoo, downtown to the Mall or Smithsonian, over to Georgetown to the library or the various parks, and in the summer, wander around a small New England village we eventually moved to.
