McLean Mansions

As the weather improves we tend to travel to McLean and the Great Falls area along Georgetown 
Pike right off highway 123. Never have we seen as much construction along this way as this year. We headed out to Great Falls Tavern for lunch.  Several new, underway, and ground breaking places abound. There are so many trees along this drive that many were being removed and turned the route in to one way travel giving us an opportunity to observe even more. We hear all the time that this area is one of the most lucrative and expensive places to live. And this is proof of it. Our home in Milwaukee didn't come close to these places. During the day they all look quite interesting, but I always wonder how it would feel at night being in such a huge place in a fairly isolated area. I suppose it all depends on your age and the station in life you are in, but it all seems so overwhelming to me now. Although it's not that far from town, it just feels like it is. Somehow I much prefer the tiny space we live in, and really like not having to worry about all that stuff. The apartment that went for sale in our building is a pending sale already after the open house last Sunday. Perhaps I've come to learn it's not the material things that matter. Thank goodness I've had the great fortune to figure that out, and a great husband makes all the difference.
