The family and I are heading to Yosemite on Sunday (hopefully I'll have some good pics to post). The HB's in hog heaven right now. Besides today being the first day of summer vacation, I got him a new bike today. I love our local bike shop. They sell good stuff and have great service (y'know, fixing little stuff without charging and giving accurate estimates), so I didn't mind paying a bit of a premium getting the bike there rather than at Target. Finally, the HB's having a buddy stay over (right now they're immersed in 8 year old porn....Gameboy).
Yosemite is a pretty regular destination for us. We really weren't planning on going this year. However, last year my uncle met us there and was blown away, so much so that he wanted to bring my aunt out this year. She wasn't able to make it last year since she had recently had neck surgery, but now they are convinced (rightly so) that there is plenty of stuff she'll really enjoy there. It's not a bad drive from here (about 4.5 hours) and it is just an amazing place. I'm looking forward to exploring parts of it outside of the valley floor.
In the mean time, my mom turns 70 this weekend, so we're going out for a fancy dinner tomorrow. It's a place she and my dad haven't been to and my mom LOVES seafood.
Today was (another) big day for my wife at work. She officially got her promotion (and the 8% raise that goes with it). Also, another one of her grants got funded. She's totally on a roll. I'm very proud of her.
On the work front, my new client signed on the dotted line (yay!) so I'll be heading to KC for the first time at the end of the month (too bad the Royals aren't in town).
Dunno if I'll be able to blog from our lodge near Yosemite, but I will if I can.
