But we loved it, we had so much fun and then moved back to the Sacramento area to be close to family and really close to the mountains, we can get to Tahoe in an hour and a half we can get to San Francisco or an hour and a half. It's awesome. So that's where I'm based now and practice state planning, business for setting up business entity that has information and strategy for smaller investors and real estate clients and if I can't help somebody I like to send them where I would trust.
