Catch up (part 4)

In early October Scott and I took a vacation to Yosemite National Park and San Francisco, CA. It was AWESOME! If you haven't been to either of these places, you really should put them on your "bucket list." When we were planning our trip we unknowingly planned a very similar vacation my parents we planning with some other family. When their trip fell through, mom, dad & Mama decided to join us. We had some interesting sleeping arrangements a few nights and some cramped quarters, but we were glad they came with us and made some great memories.


The Golden Gate Bridge. Scott, Abbey and I walked across the bridge and the view of the city was amazing! It was fleet week and the navy's Blue Angels were putting on an air show while we were going across the bridge and a ton of sailboats were all over the bay watching the show.


We walked a lot in San Fran and one street we were on several times was Mason Street. Abbey is crying in this pic...I think she missed her buddy Mason. ;-)


Lombard Street - the most crooked street in the world.

Blue Angels


Mason let us borrow his stroller and it was a life saver! We didn't have room for Abbey's bigger stroller and I am so glad we had this little umbrella stroller. What a cute little booty in those baby jeans!


IN-N-OUT burger


Alcatrez Island - soooooooooo neat!


The Meadows


The Tenya Lake


My absolute favorite spot!


Half-dome





The Grizzley Giant. The largest Giant Siquioa tree around - HUGE!


The whole crew in front of the California tunnel tree.


Our happy little girl! Love her!!!!!


They have documentation that this tree fell at least 153 years ago - whoa!


The Miraposa Grove. A great little 3 mile hike through the giant siquoia forest that even my 89 year old grandmother made. What a trooper! :)


These trees are absolutely enormous!


We arrived to our cottage at the Tenya lodge late at night and the next morning I peaked out the window to find SNOW! This was not in the forcast and we weren't really prepared for snow.
