Juliet Armerding
It took Juliet a while to fall in love with DC but, 15+ years later, she wouldn't want to live anywhere else! Juliet and her fellow native New England husband have 3 kids (ages 5-12) and love raising them in this vibrant city where there is always something to do. She lives in NW DC on a block happily filled with many other young families. She loves laundry day, visiting ALL the museums, reading historical fiction, eating sweets, theatre, and going to the beach.
