Yosemite

This past weekend we spent a gorgeous day at Yosemite National Park. We headed out really early on Saturday morning (about 4am). The drive only took 3 1/2 hours but since we would only be there for the day, we knew we had to take advantage of our time and make it there early.

We were completely taken aback by Yosemite's beauty. We spent the day biking Yosemite Valley and doing a couple short hikes. We stopped at lunchtime and had a picnic where two very daring squirrels tried to take our lunch. It was cool to see for myself all the mountains and waterfalls I have heard about: Bridalveil Fall, Yosemite Falls (which were at their peak flow this month!), Vernal Fall, Half Dome, and El Capitan. The weather couldn't have been any better. It was just a truly amazing, fun day. Here are the pictures because they can probably convey our trip better than my words can!:
