Parade of Homes

Do some houses make you want to vomit when you first see them?

This weekend myself and my Fiance Kristen went her parents house where we set out on an adventure to parade through homes. When we arrived at her parents house the Olympics where on and we were greeted by cocktails. After a few cocktails and some pizza, it was off to bed.
The next morning we woke up and had homemade waffles and bacon, flushed down with fresh squeezed orange juice. We all took our showers and were off for the day, to go see the Parade of Homes. For those of you who don't know whathe Parade of Homes is, its basically a bunch of new homes built by big time designers and shown off t all over the area. Some big houses and some small houses.

The first few houses we looked at were pretty nice houses, not too big, and not too little. Some houses we looked at were just so big, they were a waist of space. One house we looked at was a smaller house but it had such high ceilings that it looked bigger on the inside than it really was. It had nice dark counter tops with dark wood cupboards, and a really cool stainless steel fridge and stove. The kitchen table was actually a booth set up just like at a fancy restaurant, and it also had the whole big flat screen t.v. thing going on. Below the t.v. was a see through fireplace, or known as what I think is called a two-way fireplace, which is a gas fireplace that can be seen from the kitchen area and the living room at the same time, now that is cool. One house had a loft between the two kids bedrooms that could only be accessible by ladder. It overlooked the hallway and was totally sweet. We looked, and looked, and looked, all weekend, and there was lots of houses that were just total waists of space, and made be want to vomit all over. One was particularly huge, so big I couldn't even finish looking at it, it had a spiral stairway, an office with a really nice piano, and a huge bar downstairs in the lower level. All together it was three levels, but the best part of the house I think was the over-sized hot tube, which was an easy ten foot wide by twenty foot long heated pool with super huge jets.

So all-in-all, my weekend consisted of long days of looking at some really nice homes, some way to big homes, then great cooked dinners and late night cocktail hours.
