Actually, we’ve been back for awhile, but like everything I am behind on updating. Aiken, South Carolina was really nice. This is the Willcox hotel, where we stayed. It was really beautiful and the rooms were so cute, complete with a 4 poster bed!
The Willcox
Wow, we could not believe the properties we could get for the price! Our realtor was top notch! When we arrived at the Willcox, there was a welcome packet waiting for us and an intinerary of our next couple days of viewing homes. Our first day, we viewed NINE properties! We narrowed it down to 3 that we liked. My personal favorite was this one: Check out this pasture – ahh!
Pasturepolooza!
The Barn
Oh wow, compared to California, these places made my head hurt! And this place is going for a song because it is bank owned. Okay, it needs some work, but – those pastures – ahhhhh!
Actually moving would be tough when we actually thought about it. This canuck has gotten a little used to the California lifestyle. Can you blame me? I live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Which, of course, is why it is so fabulously expensive! So we are still continuing the search, but Aiken was sure an eye opener. One day, I WILL be looking out my bedroom window and waving to Jasper!

Beautiful! I want to see more pictures of the places you visited. How exciting this has to be for you.

Looks like a great place….love the barn and pastures, too! So are you giving Aiken more thought, or checking out other places?
I loved your holiday picture-card of Jasper!

Pony Girl, I think we are going to keep our options open. I tell you, when we check out places here in California and the prices, I keep dreaming about that barn….

You’re right about those gorgeous pastures and amazing prices for all that room.
I remember when we went horse property shopping in Virginia. We fell in love with several farms, but we’re still “out here”.

Good to hear. I was wondering how you guys were doing. He looks drop dead gorgeous…wow! Is that really furry Jasper? So cool. The barn I just moved from is full of Left Brain Introverted warmbloods…thank goodness the Parellis are addressing such great tactics for ways to positively work with that kind of mind. The last Savvy Club DVD had a really great segement on “less is more” with a LBI. So good to see him doing so well.
