Camp Springs, Maryland

New view out our front window

Okay, so on to the new place.  It's an 18 minute Metro ride (Branch-Green Line) from where we were in the district. So it's definitely more of being in the suburbs than in the city.  It's WAY more quiet.  Where we were in the city, someone could have a normal voiced conversation on the street and we could hear them perfectly on the 8th floor.  Kind of creepy.  Plus, the police and fire station were right down the street so lights and sirens just became background atmosphere.  I do however miss the 7 AM church bells that rang every morning serving as a lovely alarm if we weren't up already.

For Tom, the indoor pool at the clubhouse was a major selling point.  It's brand new however, has been under repair since we got here so haven't been able to use it yet.  I am bummed that there isn't an outdoor pool but may have to take advantage of the one at Andrews AFB which is right down the street.

 Great work out room…..

Small business area….

 Gathering area in clubhouse….with kitchen and pool table.  TV'a all over the place!

 Outdoor play area and basketball hoop as well.

 And inside our apartment……living and dining area  (apparently didn't get photo of dining area which is on other side of this room)

Nice kitchen with washer/dryer behind door.  Awesome!  At other place I had to walk down the hall 

 Master bed and bath…..

Office area which is in the guest room….(picture me sitting there right now!)

…...which is across the hall from the 2nd bath!

 The other great thing is lots of closet space which Tom has equipped with shelving to hold LOTS of our junk. It's starting to feel a little more like home now that I have the Christmas stuff up and music in the background.  About a 7 minute walk to the Metro which is right up the street.  I'll have to do a neighborhood show and tell some other time.
