Well, we did it! We found a place closer to Kelvin's work (15 min door-to-door). We've moving back to Palo Alto on March 8th. For several months we've been looking for something that would allow Kelvin more time with Simon. He ends up leaving for work 15 minutes after Simon wakes up, and coming home 15 minutes before he sleeps.
We'll be paying more for a smaller rental house, but it has 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a big back yard. I'm trying to get my project car ('74 Triumph Spitfire/GT6 project) back on wheels so that I can at least tow it with me.
It has been a long struggle since we have so many great friends in San Francisco. The Sunset Ward has been the closest we've felt to a ward since growing up in our respective homes.
Even though we're really not that far away, we've decided to make a list of things we'll miss up here. For those who also left their hearts in San Francisco, please feel free to add to the list:
- Food (Indian, Mexican, Japanese, Thai Crab house, within walking distance)
- Friends
- Ferry Building, Farmer's Market
- Golden Gate Park (2 blocks away)
- Ocean Beach (7 blocks away)
- Shopping
- Telling people about the weird cold summers
- The Sunset Ward (Bishop Curtis et al.)
- Church Basketball on Tuesdays (Kelvin still may come up to play)
- Irving Street Food
- Union Square

I'm so glad you guys found a good place. That will be really nice for you I'm sure. You have to add Angel Island camping and kayaking to the list.
Cant wait to have you back in PA!
Hi there, Sus! It's so good to run into you and your fam through the blogging network!
My husband, Brandon grew up on the army base on the Presidio when he was a kid...so I'm sure he would have lots of favorites to share with you guys. One of them would be crabbing with his buddies :)
I wish that you guys were moving to Phoenix. Then I would be thrilled! But I am glad that you found a place. I guess you will be like an hour closer to me! :)
I just have to comment... could Simon be any cuter? Man, he's a doll. I just love him! Hope everything goes well with the move. I'm so glad to catch up with the Robinson clan via this blog.
Hi Kelvin,
I saw your post about your work on devices to dissolve DVT clots. I would love to talk to you and learn more.
Dear "funnfitnsb",
I'd love to talk to you more about DVT, but I have no way to reply based on your post.
Kelvin
