We had a couple things in mind when we bought the house. It had to be bigger than Hongying’s old appartment, it would be nice if it had a basement, a 2 car garage and was close to a bike trail. It also needed to have good public transport links to get Hongying to her work in DC.

Now that we are living here I am loving the fact that we have a real kitchen where I have the space to cook. I have all the computers in a room away from the cat litter box. I can bike to work on the W&OD trail which is about 1/2 a mile from the house. One thing we didn’t realize was that we would only be a couple miles from a swimming pool which is also seconds away from the W&OD trail.

Oh and the cats like the extra space to run or sleep in.
