Yosemite.....sigh

August 1-3

Let me just start this post by saying Terry has lived in California his ENTIRE life....he had NEVER been to Yosemite.  Needless to say I was extremely excited for him to see all the beautiful sites.  We had planned this camping trip with 2 other families, so we had lots of kids in the group.  We were camping in Wawona which is actually quite a ways from the valley.  It is however on the gorgeous and majestic Merced River.  We were quite thankful for the river due to the fact our campsites had very little shade and it was VERY hot.  The river however was freeeeeeeeezing but refreshing, if that even makes sense.  We took a few hikes and drove and did some site seeing and on the last day made a jaunt down into the valley.  All in all a wonderful trip....although Terry was upset we didn't see any bears.
