Yosemite 2011














Took our annual trip to Yosemite. But not our typical trip! Due to weather about half the usual folks cancelled, the rest of us set out for a wet weekend. Started off well, easy drive in. Stopped at Bridalveil Falls, then went and set up camp along with pop-ups and tarp structures to give us shelter in the rain. Then we headed to Yosemite falls. A little misty and cold but a nice walk in the valley. The weather seemed to be working with us. On Saturday morning we got up with the intention of hiking Vernal Falls and the mist trail but Molly was acting funky and at 13 weeks pregnant I was a bit low energy. So we walked to Mirror Lake and took the shuttle to the Ansel Adams museum...where Molly promptly threw up all over Jon after getting off the shuttle. Poor thing...and we were just saying how she had never vomitted yet in her life. Maybe I jinxed her :(

And then the rain really started. At this point, I was feeling pretty done with it all. After spending the rest of the afternoon in a tent with a sick kid we decided to call it a trip and head home. Molly slept all the way home that afternoon, and through the night, until 11:30am the next day...about 16 hours!

Oh well, there is always next year.
