the house that someone else built (but we moved into)

we have a house! we keep talking about it but never back it up with anything! like my girlfriend from canada!

well to prove that marine manor (that's its name) is not like eustacia (that's my canadian girlfriend's name), here are some pictures!

this is the front of the house. this is what you would see if your back was to the beach, because our house is in front of the beach.


what you don't believe me about the beach thing? well check out the view from our dining room. wicked!


here is the view from our office. i put the computer there so i wouldn't have to look at that ugly view all the time.


we have TWO decks, because one isn't enough. this is the stairway from the front driveway to the deck.


yesterday vanessa and i walked to brunch at this awesome cafe with a bunch of tables in front of the water. basically every house between our house and the cafe is ridiculously lavish and beautiful, and they ALL LOOK DIFFERENT. one looks like a hobbit house. one is uber-modern, with porthole windows and jutting angles. one looks like it was picked up out of savannah, with its long white porch, shingled cupola, and wicker deck furniture. on the walk back we saw a big swing hanging from a very tall tree, so vanessa of course had to ride it.


as you can see, it is a pretty fantastic place, in a great neighborhood, and as a funny side note, joe letteri (basically the godfather of weta other than peter jackson, and the dude who accepted weta's oscars) is our next door neighbor. maybe we should bring him a pie?
