virginia: I would like to know how life is in Virginia. Any experiences in relocating. Experiencies with working in Virginia and/or Federal Government. Thanks in advance!|||Welcome to Metro Area! Virginia is very nice and close to downtown DC. Traffic coming into the city is mad crazy, but you can join in on the slug line and take advantage of the HOV lanes. Cost of living in VA and the DC Metro area is not cheap. Gas prices are hitting $3.00 plus and it has been said that they will go up even higher. There are tons of things to do and places to visit. Museums Summer festivals National Zoo Georgetown (plenty of shopping and great restaurants) Adams Morgan (great place to party if you are into that) Or you can choose to venture out into Maryland. There is the Baltimore Harbor and Annapolis to name a few. I have worked for the fed government years back. Downtown DC is loaded with federallies (smile) but there are also some fed govt offices located in Arlington and Alexandria. Overall, I think you are going to like it here.|||Poor you. I've lived in Va all fourteen years of my life. you'll be bored, and slightly disgusted.
