I really enjoyed reading this post. We moved from DC to the midwest a few years ago. In general we've been quite happy. But the one thing I really miss from DC is the diversity. While everyone in the midwest is not of the same creed, color and religious belief, I do feel that our kids are lacking exposure to a wide array of people and perspectives. I love our quality of life but it means that as parents we need to double down on our intention to ensure that our kids learn about the breadth and depth of what will be an entirely globalized America and world waiting for them.
