Our very first home is so awesome. It backs onto state land, which gives us loads of room. It's really a welcome change from renting in Cupertino. Especially after coming from Colorado. There's a great path going further into the woods that passes a beautiful flower field. In the other direction we often walk to the beach or up Montara mountain.

The back deck is also a great place for me to work on my bike. Nothing like cleaning a chain on your very own deck while you enjoy a beautiful day in Montara.
