One of Kendrick's best friends from business school has been staying with us for the past week, and so this weekend we figured we'd show him one of our favorite places (definitely in Northern California, and very possibly in the world). Mill Valley is the town that I visited with Morgan way back when I was about three months pregnant, and we ate pasta on a sunny terrace, and on the drive back of the bridge to Morgan's place I called Kendrick and told him that I was totally on board with him looking for a job in the Bay Area. I think what I said is "We have to live in Mill Valley one day."

As it turned out, we have neither the five trillion dollars (in cash, plz and thanks) required to purchase property in Marin, nor the desire to have Kendrick spend four hours a day commuting to and from the South Bay. Love it for a day trip (and for some maybe-way-in-the-future-post-lottery-winning fantastizing), though.

...But I have a feeling I'm not going to succeed.

OK, so I was really late to the AirBnB party - I stayed in my very first one during our house-hunting trip last March, which is approximately fifty years after everyone else started staying in them - but...I mean...that's how I want to travel.

So I think it's safe to say we're more or less settled in now. I know where the closest Trader Joe's is; our son is happily enrolled in summer camp; we have an account at the dry cleaner. There are still a bunch of boxes left to be unpacked, but that's mostly because I have to wait for the renovations we're in the middle of to be finished before I have anywhere to put the rest of our things. We even have a couple of playdates with potential new friends on the horizon (always scary, this making-of-new-friends-in-a-new-town thing, but I did it once before, and it turned out pretty great, so).

And so I thought I'd just share a few snapshots that we've taken over the past couple of weeks; just some bits and pieces of what we've been up to.
