More updates.

Overall everything is going good. My mom was serious about moving down here, but then found out Arizona hospitals that do acute dialysis do not accept LPNs, only RNs. That is Seriously whack!!! Mom has 20 years experience as a dialysis nurse! Too bad after a certain amount of years nursing, you can't just get "promoted" to RN. She's 50 and doesn't feel comfortable going back to college....and it's not like you can study to be an RN online--you have to go through clinicals.

Mom can work in a clinic setting, but she finds that boring and unsatisfying. So their looking in San Antonio, Texas instead.

Last weekend we took an impromptu roadtrip to San Francisco. We left at 1AM on Saturday morning and got there about 2pm. We stayed until Monday morning. Below are some pictures.


San Fransico cable car depot.

The Embarcadero. The main place where ships come in.

Golden Gate bridge.

Us in front of the Golden Gate bridge...it was COLD and cloudy!

Downtown San Fransisco.

We also went to Chinatown...but oddly enough, we forgot to take pictures. We were too busy eating! LOL
