Yosemite!

We went to bed last night thinking we'd go look at some properties in the bay area, woke up saying we'd go look at "big" trees, and finished breakfast agreeing we'd go where we've been saying we wanted to go... Yosemite! Amazing what a day trip in CA can be. 45 minutes later, after Mommy went crazy grabbing everything we might need, we were ready. A couple Max and Ruby episodes later, Lauren succombed to the wiggly roads with a bad case of car sickness... but as we had an extra set of clothes all was quickly fixed. Shortly after, we were entering the park, and enjoying the natural formations and spectacular landscapes! We found a nice loop for the kids to "hike," and were fortunate that the meadow we hiked was a great Half Dome photo op for the kids! They had a great time on our "adventure," and though a long day (9 hours,) it's definitely on our list of possible Grandparent destinations! (So you all discuss and decide which of you might want to go back with us!) On the way home we detoured through some Amador County wineries, though they were closed... it's another to do destination for us. A great day, lots of wonderful memories and breath taking scenery... amazing what a couple hours in the car can get you!
