4th of July and no plans!

Holidays are always an excuse to have a big party and invite all your friends.  Summer is the best season too, so we usually have a get-together for the 4th and it's always great.  This year, however, it kind of snuck up on us, and we didn't have the time or energy to plan anything. 

When the 4th came, and I realized I didn't plan a party or anything, I had a moment of panic, but then realized that this would really be great.  No stress of making food, no worrying about having to clean the house, or coordinate anything.  Relax.  All day. 

We ended up waking up and going to an estate sale where we bought a few trinkets, a wine rack, and a scuba tank.  Then, Mitch and I had breakfast in Los Gatos, and got to sit in the most awesome table in the place.  Then off to rock climbing at PG for a couple hours, and then board games with the Scotts and Victor.  An hour or so of rest and nap, and then off to a hike at Mission Peak to go watch the fireworks from way up high, and even got to bring the doggies with us! 

Such an awesome day - if only every day was as relaxing as this one.
