Yosemite

Everyone in America (in the world, for that matter) should visit the splendour of Yosemite once in their lifetimes. If you can get past the crowds and chaos of the valley maze, that is. The views of waterfalls and sheer granite will take your breath away, until the feeling of city traffic leaves you empty and dissappointed.


Fortunately, we chose to jump off the carnival ride. We hiked down to a secluded grove of pines on the bank of the Merced, laid out a blanket, spread out a picnic, and Rebecca got to do her favorite activity--nap.
