My favorite vacation

I had the privileged of planning out our family vacation this year. I knew I wanted to go to one place, my favorite place in the world.
Yosemite National Park
Their is NOTHING like this place and no picture could ever do it justice.
Well, my bothers dropped out and my in-laws came for a few days and then our cousins got to come and spend some one and one time that we never get in large family get together's.
I'll let the pictures share our story there...



We had 5 adults and 2 dogs for a 10 hour drive up, we had to stop in fresno to pick up my mom's RV.








This is the pictures why Yosemite is just amazing! After you come out the tunnel this is what you see. El Capitan, and half Dome and Bridal Vile Falls and Glacier point....ahhh you get it all here!! ( my mom is the photographer)
 This is Glacier Point (it was my 1st time ever, and I don't know how I waited this long!!)

 We rented bikes a few times (next time bikes are a must for our camping trips here)
 Half Dome in the background

 My Father and Mother in Law, we had so much fun with family all around!

 Champ was GREAT! He wouldn't even let me peddle, he had to run the whole time.

 The Best was our floats down the river! It was cold, but it was definitely a vacation!
My uncle Jim sure liked being out of the office a little to much. Good thing we woke him up!


We just LOVE Yosemite so much I would love it if we could go every year. For those that don't know, getting a campsite in Yosemite Valley is like getting tickets to a sold out show. You have to plan 4-5 months in advance and right at 7am they open the sites (beware you have to already registered on recreation.gov) We were lucky enough to get 2 campsites. Their are still sites that are first come first serve base.
