unpacking & exploring

I'm thinking of opening a cardboard maze in my new condo. It's like a corn maze, only not as fun.

Special: Free boxes and packing paper to the first 50 guests!!

I think my books may have multiplied in transit. I still had a few boxes of books left to open when this was taken.

In other exciting news, we've managed to find our nearest Trader Joe's, Starbucks, Target, PCC Natural Market, and a few really good takeout places (Chipotle is at the top of our list just now). I've signed up at my local Gold's Gym and we also bought a new trash bin today. We're still on the hunt for a good sushi place, but found some yummy pho yesterday.

Can you handle the excitement?!

We went on a coffee run to Tully's on our first morning here ... this was our view on the way. I think I'm gonna like it here ...

    Wow! That view is beautiful! I wish I was there with you, both to help you unpack and to enjoy the scenery with my lovely friend: you.

    It was fun to hear all you've found in your new environs already. Sounds like you're beginning to make it your own.

    Hurray for pho, Trader Joe's, and beautiful views (too bad that last one doesn't rhyme).

    glad you are settling in. It takes time, but it certainly is made just a little easier with a Starbucks near by.

    I hope your transition to the new job site goes smoothly.

    Take care

    I'm still looking, unsuccessfully, for a local starbucks or even something similar and I have to say that having one would have me feeling more settled!

    At least you have the most crucial sites all plotted out. You weren't kidding about the boxes!!!

    Just stopping in to see if the boxes have proliferated or dispersed. : )
