Our Trip to Yosemite

We decided to visit Yosemite on a whim. On Thanksgiving morning we packed up our truck and headed north. We arrived in Yosemite around 3pm and went for a quick hike before setting up camp. It was booked, but we were fortunate enough to get a site without reservations. We left on Friday evening around 7pm and got home on Sat. at 2am. It was a brief, yet fun trip.


Here we are at the bridge where you can see the Vernal Falls. It's another mile up to the top of the falls.


We hiked all day long on Friday. This was one of the stops we made along the way.


This is the Mist Trail that leads up to Vernal Falls. We're almost to the top!


Kelly and I posed for a picture with Nevada Falls in the background.


Kelly was such a trooper during the hike. She did a fabulous job keeping up with Mom and Dad. Daddy was kind enough to carry Kelly for a few miles!


Here are some pictures of the beautiful scenery.
