So, since moving to Northern Cali, we have tried to do something new and different each Saturday with our girls. Today we chose to go to Muir Woods and IKEA - true, they have nothing in common, but it was a fun day!
Muir Woods ended up being something that Chris really loved and enjoyed, so I was happy we decided to brave the treacherous hairpin turns and endure 1 hour in the car each way with an un-napped1 year old! It was beautiful and tranquil (except when our kids opened their mouths!!) and was awe inspiring to see trees over 1,000 years old.
On our way home we pass an IKEA, so we thought, why not. We had a great time walking around and checking out the 1 bazillion square foot store. If you have never visited an IKEA, you should, it is a unique retail experience. So, we bought nothing, but gained good ideas for what we hoped would be a new house.
On that note: we had an appraisal done on our perspective house and it came in lower than asking (which is not surprising in the area we are looking), which led to week long negotiations and re-appraising. On the way home from IKEA we got the call that we got the house for the price we wanted to pay, so the day ended on a high note. The sad side is that our days living FREE in our temp housing with daily food per diems and a cleaning crew are quickly coming to a close.
