Sorry for the cruddy google photo this is all I have for now. I promise the moment we get to our new place I will be taking tons of photos to share with you guys. This is going to be our new home come July 1 or whenever we make it out to San Antonio, Texas. We are leaving Long Beach, California Monday June 29th and hoping to arrive as quick as possible. Though we will be making plenty of stops for are 3 dogs, Ava are pit bull puppy she is about 15 weeks, Betty are black lab pit mix and Sammy are buff little Chihuahua. I am so excited about this new adventure but a bit nervous about the move half way across the United States. Almost every moment of my life has been spent in Long Beach. I have lived here my whole life (20 years) and I really do not know anything else. I will deeply miss my friends, family and the beach but I am so excited to see what San Antonio has to offer.
The stats on the house:
3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms and 1 den
1 bathroom
built in 1948
hardwood floors
huge backyard for our 3 dogs
at least 3 trees on the property
the round thing in the front lawn was originally a pond
and that's about all I know for now.
I am hoping I will be able to do some research at the local library or town hall on the house and maybe find some photos of the original owners or information on them.

ReplyDeleteI've sutdied abroad in some cities but otherwise I've always lived i Helsinki. I'm not sure I'd have the guts to move away :)
Congratulations on the "new" house and the move! Love your home, it's so retro. I'm sure you're going to have a ball decorating it. I think you'll love San Antonio, the riverwalk is charming near the restaurants and shops.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move! Love the vintage photos of Old San Antone.
ReplyDeleteIf you start missing the beach, you're only two hours from Corpus Christi/Port Aransas. ;) I am teasing a bit here... it in no way compares to Long Beach, and it's a bit of a drive, but the water's warmer!
