Wordless Wednesday - Yosemite Incredible

Yosemite Incredible

Our family had an incredible trip to Yosemite National Park in the Western Sierra Nevada mountains last week. It snowed over two feet while we there, we saw and hiked to many beautiful waterfalls, hiked to Mirror Lake, saw lots of wildlife including deer, Stellars Jays, and a Black BEAR!!! It is awe inspiring to stand and gaze upon the steep granite walls of El Capitan, Sentinel Rock, and Half Dome. The towering trees including Redwoods, Black Oak, and Incense Cedar are humbling. It is truly a sacred place that touches your spirit, heart, and soul. Mere words are insufficient to describe the confluence of natural beauty and bounty of Yosemite. I will post pictures after I buy additional hard drive for the computer. I hope you get to visit there and see for yourself. I can't wait to go back and explore some more. Certain places stay with you, sustain you with their sheer beauty, this is one for me.

Yosemite Here We Come!

I am looking forward to going to Yosemite, California for a few days this week with the family. However, I hate packing!!! Packing is such a misnomer, that's only one piece of the puzzle. It's all the prep work I dislike, figuring out the clothes, the laundry, stopping the newspaper, cleaning the litter box, watering the plants, pay bills, ACCCCKKK!! Plus, I have to supervise packing of the two boys stuff, but thankfully they are very self sufficient and getting more so all the time. But still, it's times like these I wish I had a personal assistant or I could wiggle my nose like my favorite TV witch and be done with it!

Enough of the crab session, I am excited to go to Yosemite for the first time and experience the waterfalls and wildflowers of Spring there. We are staying in a condo right in Yosemite National Park. We also have lunch planned at the Ahwahnee Hotel. It will be great to get away.

I wish you all a wonderful week and Start of Spring!
