Our House in Woodland

Before we moved, we spent a lot of time with our realtor getting the house ready for selling. Here are professional pictures taken after the house was staged. It looked so nice we almost didn’t want to leave!

August 11, 2017 – Good bye, Woodland

We left our home in Woodland, CA, USA, with our new 2017 Toyota Camry packed to the gills. We headed south to Camarillo, CA to visit friends and family before our first rental. One of our stops was at Gardens of the World, in Thousand Oaks, CA. Pictured here are images from the Japan, Mission, and Italy areas.

Stopped at this Basque restaurant in Bakersfield.
