Benicia, CA

Scott flew to CA this weekend to check out some houses. We have an offer on a house in Fairfield but since it is a short sale, the process is long and drawn out. Mom was out of town (bird watching and horse back riding if you can believe it...and she didn't even fall off the horse! yay mom!) so Scott and my dad looked all over at many, many houses.
Online, Scott has been looking at houses in Benicia but i didn't think too much of it, mostly because I have never actually been there. Well, they drove around Benicia on Saturday and Scott fell in love with the town. It is a pretty small town, but is super cute. Sunday they looked at houses there and he and my dad both fell in love. :) The house was built in 1907 but has been updated. The kitchen is fantastic! The house is smaller and more expensive then we had originally discussed, but he is convinced it is "the one". There is room to build on in the future...which would be a "must" if we plan to stay there long. It looks like we will be making an offer soon! Wish us luck!

On another note, we still have not sold our house! We have tons of showings, but nothing so far. Hopefully something positive will happen soon.





This is a running/bike trail near the house

I am so glad that you have found 'the house'-the town sounds really neat, too. Love you! Mom
