Mom visits the City

For the first time in a long time, I stayed home for vacation and it was wonderful. We had three days off for the 4th of July holiday, and I took two more to make it a nice week-long break from work. Things have been pretty stressful since I got back from Denver and it's been nice to have a little down time. Mom came on Sunday and we spent the week just hanging out - it was so nice and relaxing. We spent a couple of days shopping and sightseeing - and one walking in Golden Gate Park. We also visited the DeYoung Museum. The weather was beautiful for the 4th - we barbecued at Dolores Park and then watched the fireworks from my living room window.

Tomorrow is the big day for my walk - wish me luck! I'm going to get to bed early tonight and try to get some rest.
