Las Vegas Bound

To celebrate our 4-year anniversary, we are heading off to Las Vegas tomorrow for 3 days and 2 nights. Carrie's parents have graciously come to babysit Cassie for us so that we can get some time away. Should be a very exciting time. We have plans to see a show or two, eat some awesome food, and relax. Cheers!

Our House is on the Market!

After some six months of debating it, we've decided to sell our house. We love this house and weren't planning to move this early when we bought it, but have decided to try and make the best of a bad economy. We spent all last week moving all our extra clutter and furniture into storage to stage the house, the inspectors have come and gone, the gardeners have tuned the landscaping up into pristine condition. Fingers crossed, this is where the rubber meets the road!

MLS listing link if you know of anybody who's looking for an amazing house at a steal of price. We've studied the comps in the neighborhood in pretty fine detail, and we are priced relatively low, especially considering how mint our house is in comparison.

Vacation to Healdsburg

Carrie got John a getaway to wine country for Valentine's Day. We had a chance to in mid-March to use that getaway, and planned our trip around an amazing dinner at the Dry Creek Kitchen, one of our favorite all-time restaurants. This was the first time we've ever been away from the baby overnight, while Carrie's parents watched her. But it's only about a 90 minute drive, and is good practice for our next trip to Vegas.

We stayed at the Hotel Healdsburg, where the restaurant is housed, and got to enjoy the amazing tasting menu at the restaurant. Some of the menu highlights included an amazing warm spinach salad with truffle vinaigrette and a yummy diver scallop paired with crisp braised pork belly. We both agreed it was one of the best meals we've ever had. That paired with a quiet night to ourselves and some relaxed wine tasting made for a wonderful getaway!

Spring Time in California

Daylight savings time has already brought a stint of nice, sunny weather in California. This has given us the opportunity to start taking walks outside again, and Cassie has been able to play in the backyard on warmer afternoons. She certainly enjoys the change of pace, the new feeling of wind, and watching the birds chirp and fly around.
