Yosemite 2012

This past weekend we were invited to stay in a cabin just outside of Yosemite. Going to such a beautiful location means we split our priorities. Sandy worried about what shoes to wear and I pondered what camera gear to bring. Met some great new friends and saw some incredible sights. The last time I was here was in 1984 with Barry and just managed to drive through.

Teddy & Christine talked us into the hike up to Vernal & Nevada Falls. Halfway up, I was cussing them out in my mind. It was all worth it when we got to the top. So I guess they’re not so bad after all.

It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway. These photos do not capture the magnitude of Yosemite. Everything on the blog looks so small and flat and it was anything but that. We must go again.

Sunday morning we drove up to Glacier Point. We saw a mother brown bear with 2 cubs but couldn’t stop to shoot ’em as everyone and their brother was stopped in the middle of the road shooting photos of them. Really a mother bear with her cubs?

Next was brunch at the Ahwahnee.

On the way home, we stopped at the Oakdale Cheese Farm. I had to feed the animals because I wasn’t allowed to do so in Yosemite.
