A couple weekends ago Rob and I decided on a whim to go to Yosemite National Park. We only live a couple of hours from there so we thought why not. It is super hard to get a campsite in the park. If you ever plan on making the trip be sure to reserve your campsite about 3 months in advance (really they sell out about 30 minutes after they post the availability in the spring). We just happened to get lucky when someone cancelled their reservation. Either of us had ever been there but both wanted to go. We packed up the car and headed east. If you have never been it is totally worth the trip. I have been to A LOT of National Parks, but I have never seen anything as breath taking. Everyone has seen the Ansel Adams Black and White photos of "El Captain" and "Half Dome", but the photos don't do it's beauty justice. While we were there the Southwest portion of the park was on fire so we kept to the North end of the park and visited the Yosemite Valley area. We are going to try and make another trip back soon to see the rest of the amazing park. No bears this time around, but we did see a lot of other wildlife. We had a fun little ground squirrel that lived under our food locker (b/c of all the bears they have these heavy metal food lockers to store your food and anything else that has a scent to it).
