Start Saving...

Today was another fun one. We went to the roller rink this morning. Owen had to get some training in for roller hockey since his new Nike Ignite 7 rollerblades arrived in the mail yesterday (you gotta love ebay, I am actually looking for surfboards right now on ebay). He is stoked because the new blades have Abec3 bearings (that just means their super fast).

After wearing the kids out at the rink, we went to look at a couple houses in the Parade of Homes. The Parade of Homes is a great showcase the builders do in the area to show off their home. What they do is build a house with all the bells and whistles and showcase it for 3 weekends to the general public. This year their were 351 homes on parade in Wake county. Of course, we headed to the 2 most expensive. I was amazed at all the traffice and interest in the neighborhood we went to. There were county sheriffs directing traffic, and we had to park offsite and take a shuttle to the homes. It was crazy. We went to a golf course community call Hasentree, in Wake Forest. There were 12 homes on parade in the sub ranging from 900,000 to 4,495,000. We only looked at 2 homes (it took 2 hours). They were 4,495,000 and 4,395,000. They were amazing, over 11,000 sq. feet, with 11 bathrooms, an in house spa, movie theater, and on & on. We were in the first home for about 3 minutes before Owen said "let's buy it dad". Hence the title of todays entry. Once we buy it, ya'll will have plenty of room when you come down to stay. Unfortunatley we couldn't take any interior pics, but we got a couple of the outside.

Talk to you soon, take care!
