Pretty!

We spent Monday looking at the apartment complexes Kyle had found that had good ratings. Unfortunately, neither of them will know their availability for July until the end of May, so we were only able to get as far as filling out applications. If they have room for us, they'll call us. Both places looked quite nice, though, and we decided we'd be happy in either one. Hopefully at least one will have room for us, though, b/c we weren't able to find anything else we liked.

We spent some time both Monday and Tuesday just looking around the area. Kyle had already scouted it out, of course, but I hadn't. Out by Livermore, and especially between Livermore (where Kyle's job is) and the Mountain House area (where we're going to be looking for a house), there are tons of hills. And it's quite green. I really enjoyed the wind turbines. So fun!
Downtown Livermore has a bunch of fun stores and fountains and such. Anybody know what this flower is? It was growing on several trellises, and I really liked it:
There are also bunches of vineyards out there (apparently, Livermore was CA's first wine area), which makes for cool scenery, too:
Oh, and there were tons of wildlfowers growing around the highways (though I didn't get any pics of those). But here's one more picture of the countryside:
