I knew…I knew like you know about a good melon

We headed into San Francisco today for our first official visit. Of course, the minute we arrived in the parking garage, Pete's cell phone rang. Nope, not work, but possibly our new property manager.
After spending a full two days looking from floor to ceiling at various and sundry homes, we walked into the final house on Sunday and just knew (see above). By the time I reached the kitchen (after only viewing the 4th bedroom, LR, & DR), I was ready to put in an application. The house was clean, spacious (but not too big), the hardwood floors had no cracks, lights were modern, but not overwhelming, and the kitchen was updated but not too busy.
In a nutshell: we loved it! If the kids didn't love the decent-sized (but not gargantuan) rooms, they were sold on the backyard: a patio, carefully-tended backyard with just enough grass, and (drum roll)….a separate play area with a swing set! Did I mention the added bonus of the storage-shed or the pear tree (partridge not included).
Pete and I nearly collided in the kitchen, trying to quickly locate each other to almost shout, "Let's put in an application!" We quickly filled out the forms, he ran to get cash, and turned everything in. Now it is just a game of wait and see….
While waiting, here are a few pics from our trip to the city….Alcatraz in the background.
A bite of this gator could prove to be quite tasty!
