Trick-or-Treating on Eucalyptus Avenue in San Carlos

The street that’s more known for its annual Christmas extravaganza also puts on an amazing spectacle for Halloween. Much like they do around the holidays, virtually every home on the two blocks of Eucalyptus Avenue is decorated to the nines. These two short blocks have gotten so popular in recent years, that they actually blocked the street off last year,  which made it more like Mardi Gras than it did Halloween. Just missing the beads…

It’s a great place to take the kids — the decorations are incredible, and the neighbors are VERY generous with the candy.   With fire pits blazing in some of the driveways, you’ll very likely run into tons of friends and neighbors there, too.  Just keep a close eye on your trick-or-treater, because with so many kids milling around in costume, it’s amazingly easy to lose track of your kid even when they’re only 10 feet away.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

We all remember dressing up as our favorite superhero, fantasy idol or wild animal for Halloween and canvassing the neighborhood for goodies while either saving the world, escaping from it—or eating it all in one sitting!

Today in many ways we're still on the lookout—not for sweets anymore, but to help people overcome obstacles, find the castles of their dreams and discover hidden treats using our X-ray vision. Well, we don’t really have X-ray vision, but we do have an incredible eye for opportunities!

So if you know of anyone who needs a Realtor who can leap tall buildings in a single bound, please don’t hesitate to mention us.

Happy first day of Fall!

I can't believe that summer is over. We had a late one this year and it seems like the weather just started getting warm and now it is officially Fall! The kids had to go back to school in mid-August. The summers are getting shorter and shorter, but Fall is my favorite time of year.
It felt strange buying school supplies in August and seeing Christmas decorations for sale in the stores! That's far too early for me. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy the start of school, then Halloween and Thanksgiving, I feel stress and pressure as Christmas is approaching. Sigh.
When the kids were younger, we used to turn our garage into a haunted house for Halloween. We would start in September and work all month to decorate it. It was a big hit. Word spread and one year we had 600 people come through on Halloween! It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. What great memories! I love how San Carlos has a small town, close knit community feel for the holidays. We no longer have a haunted house, but others do. And what can compare to Eucalyptus at Christmastime? We live in a wonderful city!
Let's all make an effort to relax, enjoy and appreciate it!
