What great photos. Looks like a fun time. I hope it eased your sadness. I have been wanting to move away from the SF Bay Area--too crowded, need more space, need lower cost of living, etc. However, we left our fate up to fate...and my husband just landed a great job right here, so we're staying. I am happy, but also a little disappointed since I only have a small balcony here rather than a yard or land. I know that it's hard to move away from friends, and the life we are used to...there are pros and cons to each. Thanks for sharing your story! Ellen http://projecteasier.com
