Where We Live

I thought that you all might like to see where we live, so I found it on Wikimapia. Here the the link to our house: http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=40.6882653&lon=141.3594264&z=17&l=0&m=a&v=2

You can scroll around and look at the school, hospital, flight line, etc. I can walk to my office in 5 minutes, and the kids school is even closer. Shopping is done at the commisary and BX which again are about a 5 minute walk. We have a car, but on base things are so close that we could walk almost anywhere we needed to go. Walking back with all of the groceries would be a little trickier though.

The cross hairs are right over the top of our apartment. Each of these buildings has four apartments in them. In our builing there are three member families, and there are now three other member families in the circle with us. The back is one open area where the kids can (and do) run around with the other kids in the area. To get a four bedroom apartment you have to have at least 3 children, so you can imagine how many of them there are around.

The apartment is a 1545 sq ft town house with four bedrooms. The living room is a little smaller than our old house, but we will make do. I think what we will miss the most is the lack of a playroom. We do have an area that we will use, but it is about 1/5th the size and just off the kitchen instead of on a different floor.
