First, here are a couple pictures of the front of our house (and note our minivan in the driveway):
We're less than 1/2 mile to the ocean. (Tokyo Bay, to be precise) From our windows in the back of the house you can see all of the huge ships coming in the bay.
On a clear day, you can also see Tokyo and Yokohama in the distance.
We're also located right above a train station, so if we look down we can see trains. Luckily, it's not too loud. This is a train station with only local trains (no express trains), so all the trains that go through have to stop. I think Ian is going to love this when he gets a little older.
We also just figured out that on a clear day we can see Mt. Fuji from our balcony in the front of our house (or if we lean our head out the windows in the back of the house). I don't have a picture of it yet.
Also, from the front of our house, we can look into our neighbor's window and see Lassie in his upstairs window.
Thanks for the tour and all the reasons to come visit. Ryan has always liked a house with a view and this one has more than any of his houses in Seattle. Enjoy rattling around in all that space -- the toilet area looks "cozy." The little flush / big flush toilet is the new hot item with "green" geeks in the US.
