Well the Arnwine family is looking for a new house. Yesterday we visited Benicia, CA. Its a smaller town that is known for its art glass. They have great schools and the Realtor we are working with is very involved with Solano County ARC. Here is what we looked at so far...
This house was very old and needed a lot of fixing up. Fixing up wouldn't be too bad, but the neighbors have some dogs that were barking the whole time we were there. That definately would not be workable for us.
This house is sort of interesting. Its older, and kind of OK. I'm not sure why, but I'm not excited about it. The rest of the family seems interested so far.
This house looked good, but no garage! No garage would mean no place for me to do my product testing - OK no place to play with the new sensory toys w/o looking like a wierdo...
This condo was a possibility, until we drove by. Its near the water, and a water treatment plant. The area smelled funky. We decided not to even get out of the car...We will be looking again Sunday like anything with us slow and steady wins the race.

Why am I just hearing about this on the blog??? Let's hang out SOON! And as far as new homes go, I've got one word for you... SACRAMENTO! =)
Benicia is such a cool place to live. I drive there sometimes just to be near the straits and walk through the old downtown and side streets. There are a couple of great churches there, great restaurants (Dave worked in Benicia for over 30 yrs. knows it well) and a small town family atmosphere. Have fun looking for houses, don't let it derail you or make your frustrated. If He wants you there, you will find the jointly agreeable house
Have fun with the house hunting!! I know we did!! Lot's of bargain out there (although I don't know how it is in Benicia), and remember it's the buyer's market right now so don't hesitate to negotiate. Wow it rhymes hehehe..
