Getting ready to move :( Christine coming to town :)

Well, as some of you may know, our landlord is selling our condo in Hillcrest so we have to move. We are moving on Wednesday Oct 29th to Little Italy. We will be in a 20-story new high-rise (although only on the 2nd floor). The building has a roof-top pool, hot tub, etc. As of October 29th, our new address will be:

425 West Beech Street

Unit 312

San Diego, CA 92101

Here is our building, we are in the lower part between the two towers:
We are not thrilled about having to move again, however we do like the Little Italy neighborhood in San Diego, you get the downtown lifestyle without all the crazy clubs, parking problems, and traffic, etc that are down in the Gaslamp part of downtown.

The area is very dog friendly (everybody seems to be walking a dog around in Little Italy) and our unit is dog friendly too, so we might be able to finally get our dog that we've always wanted!

Our building will be 2 blocks from the Little Italy light rail station. So when we don't carpool, Jim can just hop on that to work instead of taking the bus like he does now. We can also take the light rail to the movie theater/mall at Fashion Valley, etc.

And we are only 3 blocks from Sante Fe Depot where we can take the Amtrak Surfliner to Anaheim/LA and the Coaster Commuter Rail to the Del Mar fair and races.

(Jim will also love living just 1 mile from the terminals at the San Diego airport!)

Tomorrow night (Friday) Christine is coming into town from Boston for 9 days! She is a great friend of Colleen's who used to live in San Diego (She was the Maid of Honor in our wedding!). We have a lot of fun things planned, we are running the Light Up The Night 5K in Balboa Park at 7pm on Saturday (a night time road race!), then after that we are going to a Halloween Party at our friend Ryan's apartment. Also planned, we are also going bowling next week in the East Village part of downtown, and Saturday Nov 1st is Colleen's birthday! (Too bad she has to take the CSET test that day for her teaching credential!) We can't wait to hang out with Christine, we hope she doesn't mind a bit of mess as we move that week! We will be really busy but it will be a lot fun!

Coming up the following weekend on Nov 8th-9th we are camping and canoeing on the Colorado River with 12 friends, so we'll be sure to post more about our adventueres in moving, with Christine, and for our canoeing/camping trip!
