One of the great things about our apartment building is that it's located right next to a horse farm. Of course, when the wind blows a certain direction, it's not so nice... but still, it's so picturesque. And the girls have made some friends there. The horses seem especially fond of Becca, perhaps because she is completely unafraid of their comparative size.
House #2 back under consideration. Sellers dropping their price! Hopefully we'll get this wrapped up by tomorrow.
Even if we had bought their house at its list price, it would be a bargain compared to how the rest of the neighborhood has been priced. But that doesn't mean we could afford to pay their list price. So their price drop brings it closer to our range, and makes it even a better deal. Fingers crossed...
Went whale-watching on Saturday, finally. Unfortunately, the boat never should have left dock. There were 8 foot swells out to sea. Many passengers were green. Sarah was one of those poor unfortunate souls who was seasick. We had to turn back for shore before seeing whales. I am not sure you will get any of us back on a boat anytime soon!
However, after that we went to a place recommended by my brother called Extraordinary Desserts. And they ain't bragging, that's simply a descriptive name. If you are ever in San Diego and need to intake 3,000 calories in a hurry, try it out. Or just browse, calorie free:

Hard to decide.
Becca (weight: 32 pounds) before eating all her birthday desserts. 
Becca (weight: 32 pounds, darned her) after laying the desserts to waste.
Sellers of house #2 also holding out for more money. Do you detect a pattern? If the real estate bubble is bursting, people here certainly aren't aware of it. Back to square 1 for us.
