I could soooo easily...

....live in Yosemite for the rest of my days :)
It was soooo hard to leave such beautiful surroundings... and to even top off our week..it sprinkled lightly the morning we left..and we woke to the pitter patter sounds of rain drops dancing on our rooftop :)
ahhhhhhhh
The water was flowin'...and everything was so green and lush! Lots of bear sighting reports from the campers around us.. but we didn't see any :(

We celebrated our 23 wedding anniversary there..with a delicious meal at the Ahwahnee hotel..and it was one of the highlights of the trip. The food was yummy..the piano player didn't sound too bad..and my date for the nite was dapper and dashing :)

so now im left longing to return..
this time.. a longer stay perhaps?? 5 days just isn't enough time to soak in the natural beauty of such a great park..

My Through the Viewfinder shots..

This one perhaps my favorite.. a sort of surreal photo.. although the top half of the picture is a little blurry.. something about the grass and the tree on the right being in focus makes me feel like im in some sort of dream. a feeling of being a pixie hiding in the grass..

Our adventure involved a 2 hour trail ride on horses..of course..Tim had the pleasure of riding a mule :) "Miss Budweiser" was her name..a pack mule..that carries supplies up the mountain. Apparently during one of those trip..she was carrying.. you guessed it.. Budweiser beer..and one case just happened to topple out and spill all over the trail. Miss Budweiser knows how important it is to keep the national parks pristine clean..so she proceeded to lick and lap up alllllll the beer that spilled out :)

A view of the Valley floor from Glacier Point:if you look reeeeeal close..you might spot our camper!

The meadow/golfcourse at the Wawona Hotel:

The streams were a-flowin'!

Me and my grumpy horse, Tenaya..who really thought 8 am was too early for a trail ride!

After Dinner at the Ahwahnee Hotel(note to self... bring a iron for pants)
