LOL.... that's a new one. Usually people say Loudoun is too rural, not that it's for hermits. Nothing to do outside? W&OD? Regional Parks? Potomac River? More golf courses than you can shake a stick at? Two paintball courses? Less than an hour from Summit Point? Didn't you get your scuba cert in Loudoun? Nothing to do is a misconception.
You're right about the monuments but there are plenty of awesome drives with plenty of regional landmarks in Loudoun County. You ever wonder why most "rides" end up out this way?
Oh and we (we being my family) have Caps season tickets and it takes us a half hour to get downtown after work. Another 15 minutes and we're in Chinatown eating dinner. It would take at least that from Vienna metro.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to live out here 'cause obviously you like where you're at... it's the perception people have that's interesting. I used to think the same thing before I moved here.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
