Everything is walking distance from where we live...up the hill to the playground or down the hill to the ball parks. Around the corner (literally) to the little shops and eateries and a 10 minute walk to the metro station. It's sooooo great; we haven't walked this much in years! The weather is perfect...sunny and not scorching hot. What a nice change from FL!
The playground is the "Mattie J. T. Stepanek" park, right here in King Farm (where he lived I believe)...which was built to honor him after his death in 2004. You may recognize his name--he was a pretty amazing young boy with Muscular Distrophy who appeared on many talk shows to share his "heart songs." You can read more about him and the park at:

So, it's pretty special that we live here and can play at this amazing park!
