Well, yall, the road-trip part of all of this is coming to an end. We head to LA tomorrow, and then take a flight from there. I can't believe all that we've been able to see, do, and experience over the past three weeks. It's a blessing that I know is meant to be used in our lives, and I'm praying that we don't forget or ignore that.
On our way to Yosemite we had the option to drive straight through San Francisco, or avoid it altogether. We went back and forth on that decision, since it would add considerable time and stress to our drive, but ended up going for it, and it was the right decision. I'm not usually impressed by cities, but it was delightful! (Granted, I wasn't the one driving...)

At Yosemite, we had the bright idea to spend one night in Curry Village right in Yosemite Valley, in a canvas tent. It was an experience I would recommend, but perhaps not if your entire life is packed into your car, like ours currently is.
This was our little tent. The box in front of the tent is a bear-proof locker in which you are required to keep ALL food, and anything that could be mistaken by a bear as food. That includes all toiletries, drinks, detergent, pretty much everything short of fabric. Bears break into cars all the time at Yosemite, so leaving this stuff in your car (as we have done throughout this trip) is punishable by a hefty fine in the park. This was bad news (bears) for us. I wish I had taken a picture of the inside of our locker, it was packed FULL. I'm sure we looked like fools packing that thing like it was a nuclear shelter for only one night.

Yosemite was a considerably laid-back park for us since everything revolves around the valley. And that was good since we didn't have the best night's sleep in the tent. (We aren't campers, ok? Leave us be.) It's easy to see why the valley demands so much attention:

The Valley from the Tunnel View was, to us, the most spectacular:

My dad is disappointed to find out you aren't a camper.
