Hello!
Yes, it's true. We were in Yosemite this past weekend. This time around we were fortunate to have gotten reservations for Tuolomne Meadows. The best part? We scored big time with a site that was steps away from the Tuolomne River, a meandering river that was very child friendly in that it was shallow in many spots near out camp site. It was perfection. Of all the camping trips we have taken as a family, this might very well be my most favorite camping experiences to date.
We lucked out and had excellent neighbors who had two daughters only a year older than each of our boys. They quickly became friends and hung out at each others' camp site. The boys loved helping them with dishwashing while leaving me to wash our dishes on my own! Ha! :-) Typical, right? A highlight for the boys was a shared s'mores night full of fun tales and kiddie laughter.
The scenery is breathtaking in this part of Yosemite. Every turn in the road opened to an even more picturesque scene than the one before. We didn't hike every trail but those few that we did left us longing for more time to further enjoy Tuolomne Meadows. It's undeniable-- we've been hit with the Yosemite bug big time!
When Sunday morning arrived and we were all a bit sad that our weekend had to end. Luckily we have photographs to prove to ourselves that the fabulous weekend really did happen. :-)
Tenaya Lake is unbelievably beautiful and incredibly cold. Brrr!
A trip to Nature would not be complete without adorable animal encounters. ;-)
If you visit Tuolomne Meadows, make sure to make time for a stop at Olmsted Point. The parking lot may be busy but it is worth a stop for an impressive view of the other side of Half Dome.
Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time,
--Carolina
