We’re moving to the ‘burbs!
The Bain fam is bringing the party to the people of Palo Alto starting Labor Day weekend.
Some things we’re psyched about:
- Proximity to the legendary Levys.
- We’ll be fewer than 2 blocks from University Avenue, so we’ll have quick access to great restaurants/bars/coffee, plus a post office, convenience store and other amenities. It’s funny that we’ll have easier walking access to these sorts of things from a suburb.
- CalTrain - I can still commute to Apple without driving, but my commute will be ~15 minutes, instead of 75.
- We’re a block away from Heritage Park, which will provide great space for picnics, games of catch, and a fantastic playground.
- Perfect weather every day, year round.
- Our place is a little bigger than our current pad. We’ll have a wood-burning fireplace, and the O-Zone will get his own room.
- I oughta be able to get back in shape. The shorter commute, the perfect weather, and the abundance of sidewalks and spots to run should give me far fewer excuses.
- The community feel. Lotsa families, play groups, etc.
- Access to Stanford sports. Lisa’s an alum. I’m not, but I like to pretend I am. We’ll be at every football game, we’ll be regulars at Maples for hoops, and Oliver may even grow up thinking everyone shows up at Stanford fencing, volleyball, and water polo events :-)
