We returned from our House hunting trip on May 23rd and there were a few things which stood out to me:

• In the summer the sun stays up a long time - we were getting ready for bed at 9:30pm and had a great view of the sunset from our hotel room.
• The vast majority of rentals are furnished - I suppose if you don’t own a place, why own furniture?  We felt lucky to find an unfurnished place for rent that fit our needs.
• Not everything is open on the weekend - we were hoping to get a tour of rental properties on the Saturday we were there, we had to opt for Friday and Monday instead.
• Movies have reserved seating - we found the same thing in London and loved it.  When you buy your movie ticket you pick a seat too.  We were able to buy a ticket at 3:50 for a 3:45 showing of MI 3 and have a good seat with no issues (we just missed a preview or two, no big whoop).
