Wilkie Court: The walking tour

So in case you wanted to see what our new place looked like, I've included a walk through video. The place is bitchin! If I'd known all I had to do is come to Silicon Valley to get amazing weather, a big house, and a beautiful yard, neighbors who are bringing over cake and cookies like it was the 50's (OK, so most of them have been here since someplace around then - we are one of 2 young couples on the cul-de-sac with everyone else being a geriatric) was leave everything I know, my family, and live with the thought of earthquakes, well I'd have done it years ago :) Well perhaps not, but this place is fabulous so far.



In the distance, I just heard the train blow its horn as it went by. I was briefly worried, but it goes by so quickly that its a matter of seconds and its somewhat distant. Brian referred to it the other day as, "the sound of affordability", which suddenly put a lovely and positive spin on it.

Sad thing about this house is that we are going to get totally spoiled, and if time comes to buy our own place, what we can rent and what we can buy here ... Let us just say that there is NO cross-over. If the economy breaks down to the point that we can (technically) buy a house like this, we won't be able to buy it anyway, because we'll be paying $20 for a bottle of water instead :)
