Yosemite in a day

About 3 1/2 hours from Ubers parents house, Yosemite just barely slides in as a feasible day trip from Sacramento (if you are crazy, and we apparently are). We got up, packed into two cars and headed down on a Saturday morning. We really wanted a chance to visit because it's June and all the falls are at their peak, or close enough. The only downside is that of course everyone else wants to see them right now too, and school just got out, and parking in Yosemite is a complete joke.
But all that aside it was lovely. There were water falls everywhere.
And the weather was perfect.

Here is Yosemite Falls.

Uber and I at the bottom of Bridal Veil. Shortly after this photo the wind shifted and we were all drenched.... but not a big deal you dry off on your walk back down to your car.

I'm pretty sure this is my favorite spot in Yosemite. There are a lot of pretty places to stop and look out over the valley but this one seems to be the best. I think it's because all you see is the natural beauty, there are not buildings or cars intruding. And you can't beat a waterfall rainbow!

Quick family picture. On the way out I got to check off one of my 'must see/do while in yosemite' my father-in-law caught sight of this black bear in a field as we were driving out.

So we of course immediately pulled over and I ran to try and get a picture... I was hoping for better but he was pretty far away. My adorable nephew wanted to know who was going to shoot it.... haha... ok well it makes me laugh anyway. Though I have seen a bear in the wild before it was a lot of fun to see one that was going to stay in the wild and that we just happened along. more adventures soon...

Yosemite... a rather picture heavy post...

A month later you get pictures. I just finally looked through them all tonight and the first thing I thought was Yosemite was GORGEOUS. The second thing I thought was man we need a better camera. And the third thing I thought was WOW I look tired... in all of the pictures... HAHA....

We had a BLAST on our two day wander through the park. I would go again in heart beat... I would definately buy better boots though!

Here's Uber being one nature...

...and then he laid down and took a nap. (HA! He is going to kill me for that)

There were TONS of deer... I took plenty of pictures!

See I told you... Half Dome is in the background

I dont remember what this rock is called but it is the one all the famous people used to go out on and do hand stands (Teddy Roosevelt) and dances...you could SO not get me out on that rock - it's 3,000 feet straight down to the valley floor.... I think NOT.

What I really dig is the huge trees down below it in the picture if you blow it up they are really cool.

This view was AMAZING I mean WOW! Half Dome, Nevada Falls and Vernal Falls. It felt like you were looking at a painting.

Yes for Christmas I would like one of these

thank you.

There were funnier versions of this picture but I thought I should be nice.... (think bird in nest... WAHAHAHA)

Did you know that Sequoia roots are only 3-6 feet deep and extend up to 150 feet from the tree base and their bark can be up to two feet thick? Well now you do and I think it's ridiculous

DEER!

I was just trying to recreate being in the car with us.... that's all!

So this is slightly random but the dressed up couple in the picture just got married (eloped) so I took picture for them to use on their wedding invites. So where ever they are I hope they liked them!

Group shot. Ubers parents are on the left and Grandma is between Uber and I.

El Capitan! I don't know why it just seems like that should be shouted

This one totally looks like a mouth!

Why did the deer cross the road?

Yeah I don't know either -but I am running out of things to say!

Anyway hope you all enjoyed the glimpse of our trip!
