No clever title

Ok... so the rest of the weekend was fun / leisurely and darn hot--temperature wise...

On Saturday, we hung out at the sister-un-law's pool for a while and thats about it.

On Sunday we went to brunch at Tin Angel again. I had a delicious quiche but --gasp-- skipped out on the delicious chocolate cake I usually get there.

After brunch, we went to some open houses in the neighborhood. The first place was totally not in our price range (condo units that ranged from $330-570), but I had been anxious to see inside them. They were neat and had cool open floor plans, but there were some small things that didnt appeal to me (some bits of shoddy craftmanship, granite tile on kitchen counters rather than solid granite, etc.) but there were other things that were neat--pool and views of downtown.

We went to another new condo building in the same area that actually had units in our price range. They were nice and neat as well, but didnt have a pool or the downtown view (maybe that's why they were more in our price range, lol).

Our next door neighbor (opposite side than the house that recently sold) also had an open house. It's in our range but was a big no for us... not open enough and just not our style.

Anyway, it's fun to start getting some ideas and going to open houses. We're pretty sure we'll end up in a house, but condo's are still an option. It also helps that we arent in a rush to buy anything and are willing to wait around for a long time rather than settling on something we dont totally love. The good thing about our current place is that the duplex neighbor practically takes care of the mortgage payment. Cha-ching.
