On October 17th, our neighbor and friend Marlene, who is a test chef at Sunset Magazine, took us on a tour of the property. Sunset has been at this location up the road in Menlo Park since the 1950s, but it is a prime piece of Silicon Valley real estate much coveted by developers. Sunset’s parent company recently sold the property and the magazine is moving to Oakland and Sonoma at the end of this year, so we were very happy to see the iconic campus before it’s gone.
I didn’t take any pictures inside but it was fun to see the ins and outs of the ranch-style offices. The boys most enjoyed the free “garage sale” area where they picked up a couple of discards. Finn got a typewriter and a calculator and Ezra grabbed a set of four little trees which he has stashed around the house. I liked the gardens best; here are a few photos.
After the tour, Finn spent some time typing out his manifesto.
He was very proud.
