Cape Cod

Well, we didn't win the lottery, so we're guessing that the whole "fortune" bit was referring to life experiences and such.  Boooooooooooooring....

I guess we'll take it.  :)

Let's catch up where we last left off on our journey down the east coast. After Boston, we drove on over to the Cape Cod area.

We stayed at Nickerson State Park, which had some pretty nasty creepy-crawlies in the shower. But to make up for it, there were also beautiful wildflowers all over the place.

We headed up to Provincetown the next day and roamed around looking at boats and shops and the Pilgrim Monument.

Fish and chips seemed like an obvious choice for dinner. Delicious! (And the curried french fries were pretty tasty, too.)

Perhaps the most astounding part of the visit was the fact that we found a store that we both loved!  Marine Specialties had just the right mix of vintage clothing and random international military surplus items to keep us both satisfied for hours.

I spy...

I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like.

You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

Chickens Are Scarier Than Crows, Didn't You Know?

Boeke Prospective City Analysis Matrix AND House Walk Through!

Several people have asked us how we picked Fort Collins as a place to live so I thought I would share the story with all of you. Or rather, the Matrix. Because that is how we decided. We called it the Prospective City Analysis and this is what it looked like (click to enlarge): Once we were mostly done filling in the Matrix (we had a hard time finding some city data), we sat on it for awhile and "tried out" the front runners in our heads. That would be why we told some of you that we were going to live in Durango...or Prescott...or Seattle...or Manitou Springs (a late entry after the Matrix was completed). But each time, something didn't feel quite right to us so we would move on to the next place on our radar, hoping something would stick.  And Fort Collins did. It didn't wither under the intense scrutiny that I put it under and when we got here to do our final "walk through", it felt right.  And that feeling hasn't gone away. I love that I can ge
