Trip to California

In early September we headed out to California for a wedding.  We decided to take a couple extra days and headed out to Yosemite!
We flew into Oakland and got in our rental car (minivan, they really make life easier) and headed East to Yosemite.  We didn't make it out there until after dark so we had no idea what our surroundings looked like until we got up the next morning.  Wow! Pictures just don't do these views justice!

We stayed in these soft sided cabins in the middle of a resort area.  It was a little like camping but without having to set everything up, very convenient, especially for people like us who forget how the tent sets up between every trip.

The resort area is very well set up. Walking paths, bus routes and several food and souvenir shops.  We had scheduled an open top tour of the valley floor for our first morning so we were pleasantly surprised that all we had to do was hop on a bus to get to the tour meeting spot. The open top tour was awesome!  Just look at these pictures!

We will definitely be heading back as children get older so we can do some hiking and more exploring!  The next day we headed back West for the wedding!

The wedding was absolutely gorgeous and the food was wonderful! Cole had a blast dancing at the wedding!  Unfortunately, it was pretty dark at the reception so I didn't get any good pictures of him dancing, but he sure enjoyed himself!  I did, however, get a picture with the bride!  Congrats Coree!
