House Hunting in the DC Area

Russ and I are relocating to the DC area next month.  Neither of us is very excited about the move, especially me since I've had a previous assignment to the DC area.  The traffic is horrible!  Having to plan our lives around rush hour traffic is not something I like to do.
Russ will be assigned to Andrews AFB and I'll be working at Bolling AFB in DC.  We found a beautiful rental that's only about a 15 minute drive for Russ and a 25 minute drive (assuming there's not an accident at the Woodrow Wilson Bridge) for me to go to Bolling.
The master bathroom is HUGE!  This is only half the bathroom.  The "window" behind the tub is actually the shower, which has two side-by-side shower heads. 

 

 

The master bedroom has it's own fire place and sitting room area.  Since the house is so big (about 3800 SQ FT plus an unfinished basement) we'll use one of the spare bedrooms as an office for Russ.

The kitchen also has plenty of cabinet and countertop space plus a pantry.  (Sorry for the lack of quality in the pictures.  At the time I took these, I wasn't aware this would be the home we ended up renting.  We'd originally planned on buying a home and had been working with some realtors, but I just kept getting an inspiration that we shouldn't buy a home for this assignment.)  I hope we like it here!

 

In addition to looking at homes, we found some time to play tourist.

 

Here we are at the Washington DC Temple for my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

 

We also stopped by The Mall in downtown DC.  

Of course we had to make a detour to the Smithonsian Museum of Flight.  As an Air Traffic Controller in the Air Force, this display was significant to Russ (and I had to act excited).

And I did manage to keep Russ from bumping into things since he spent a lot of time looking up.
