Has it been a month?!

Has it been a month already?! We've missed you, did you miss us?

So, in a month we have actually done a lot! Let's start with our trip to Yosemite. Thankfully, we went when it wasn't on fire, but sadly we did go when the rest of California was on fire. So as you can see in our pictures it wasn't the best time to take pictures.

The smoke was visible all through the valley, and didn't ever leave. But it did clear a little as the temperature started to rise and the smoke made it in to the jet stream, TAKE THAT EASTERN STATES!





This trip was probably the closest I will ever come to camping. As you can see on the right this is my "tent" and yes it did have a bathroom, including a shower, in it.

And if any of you would like to repeat my camping adventures, we stayed at the Evergreen Lodge right by the entrance to Hetch Hetchy near the North entrance to the park.










Here you can see the trees in the Mariposa Grove of Trees. We took a bus tour with all the retired people through the park. Much easier than driving! Not only was our bus driver ridiculously knowledgeable, but he had a few good jokes too. In the two pictures you can see AK and me standing in a tree, one of the few times I have felt truly small in my life.















And in the second picture you can see a couple standing next to a super large tree. The funny thing about that couple is that the tour group we were with yelled a them to run up to the tree before our bus pulled away.....much like lemmings they complied. But yes those are two people waving from a tree that is nicknamed the cloths pin tree...for obvious reasons.

Much more on our other adventures in my next post....maybe even later today!
