I like to document pictures and videos of each house we live in, and although we were only there for about 4 weeks, I thought I would give you all a glimpse of our Santa Monica home.....and also the picture of the terrible parking which was a major cause for our move, and why we have two nice matching scratches on each side of our brand new car!!!
The front of our building - and no, we didn't actually get to park our car there ever, just Chip did when he was unloading something!
The front hallway to our place - leading back to Cash's room, with the Kitchen the first opening on the left and the family room the second!
Right off the right just as you get inside is the guestroom, or third bedroom!
Griffin wanted to be in the picture of another view of the guestroom!
Guest bathroom!
One view of the kitchen from the front hall!
Another view from the family room area!
The family room!
Cash wanted to be in all the pictures when I first started taking them - you can see the dining room part of the kitchen too!
The family room area again!
Cash and Griffin's bedroom - it was rearranged a bit from this view to fit Griffin's new crib we got in there! It was a dilemma whether or not to put them in the same room, and although it has been a bit of a challenge in some ways, as their sleeping patterns are not really the same, I wanted them to learn to share a room early on, and I do enjoy the moments when I hear them giggling together every once and awhile before they want to get up!
Another view of the boy's room!
The boys' bathroom
The master bedroom!
Another view of the master!
The master bathroom! The tub part didn't work, and so we had to fill it up using the shower part when the boys wanted a bath - luckily they both like showers too now!
The part I hated the MOST about this place - our space was the one right to the right of the car, with the pipes low over our roof and look how TINY it is! What you don't see is the fact that 10 feet behind this is another wall, so you can't really get a straight approach to pull in, which would have helped a lot, but rather have to make a tight turn, reverse and pull in about 100 times to avoid hitting the poles, and yes we still managed to do it twice, once on each side of the Toyota Sienna! Our swagger wagon has lost a little swag I guess.....so bummer! I won't miss trying to get it right any more!!!
Video didn't work so can't put it on this post....sorry!
The part I miss the most about this place is being able to walk out the door in the morning and do my morning exercise/walks to the beach each day. Also, it was on the corner to a major street full of shops and restaurants and a great little frozen yogurt place we had found. Overall though, I am MUCH MUCH happier without the stairs (didn't get a picture of them) and the insane parking by the poles and street parking, or lack thereof we always had to deal with! Shortest place yet we have lived in one city!
On a side note: Cash spotted this car as we were getting ready to leave the park today! He asked me why it had so much trash in it? Good question Cash - and if you can't tell there is barely even enough room for a driver there is so much garbage in here - GROSS!!!!

Where are you moving? What city? What street?
Are you staying there?
Wow! That place looks huge! Maybe I just live in a tiny place, so it looks big in comparison.
