Hi Mamas!
My family and I currently live in Eugene, OR a very liberal, progressive, and awesome city of 150,000+. We have 4 kids, 3 of whom are attending a really great alternative school that we really like (the other child is under 2). We love it here, but we are from NJ and our parents are getting older and we would like to be closer to them. NJ is just way too expensive and I hate snow and cold so your area is the closest we can really get to "home." My husband has lots of family in Newark, Baltimore and that area. His parents are most likely going to retire to that area and his siblings will move down there when that happens. I have never been to DE or MD except driving through on the way to Florida as a kid.
So, please tell me about the area. Are there any liberal, hippyish towns with good schools? How's the weather? Can you live in a rural area but still be close to a city? What places are crazy expensive or super conservative? Any info and towns to look into would be great! Thank you!!
