Cali, Here We Come...

T and I have been contemplating spending a month in Palo Alto. This week we almost signed a lease for a condo we would rent for a month. The guy was expecting the lease signed on Friday morning and on Thursday evening we discussed it at great length and made a final decision Friday morning not to do it. Yuck, I feel bad because T worked him really hard to do a 1-month rental for us when he really wanted at least 3 months or longer AND we had basically verbally committed to him. Ohh well.

T really liked the place because it is within walking distance of anything we would need. I just wasn't feeling it though. We did, however, find a place yesterday that looks very promising and is only 4 blocks from the other one, so still viable for walking to where ever. And, it's a house with a yard close to a park, AND cheaper. We are just waiting to find out exactly when it will be available...probably closer to the end of March and I am pretty sure we are going to try to get it. 

Why Cali? Well first, T has some business to attend to out there. Second, we are thinking it would be nice to escape the last bit of winter here. Third, my best friend lives in SF, only 30 minutes away! Yippee! Fourth, we are trying to still be adventurous. One thing we talked about before we had J was how we hoped we would still be able to travel. And finally, we are in search of a place to live that we both love. 

T loves Boulder, and is not a fan of Denver, and I am the other way around.  I spent 7 years in Denver and loved it, but I can't convince T to move there. We won't be moving anywhere anytime soon because we own too much real estate in this area and the market is crap right now. But, I think we will eventually move away from here. I like cities and T likes smaller college towns so it's not going to be easy!
