Yosemite Camping Photos

[aimeekitty]

Last year, Judy planned a Yosemite trip (here's my photos from last year), and this year we went again!

It was a really nice "nature break" for me since the past month or three has been filled with a lot of stress and moving.

On the way to Yosemite from SoCal...
grape fields


I love the shadows the clouds make over the hills


The first A+ view you get entering Yosemite Valley +Mitch


We putted around at camp with the rest of our friends, went to bed, and then woke up to the breakfast of champions! (this is Fortnum & Mason Earl Grey Tea, btw... but I still can't live without my Diet Dr. Pepper.)


actual breakfast was a pretty awesome bacon-egg-potato-onions-thingie by Judy (of course)


Then we went bike riding around the valley!

Cheryll took a group shot of us. From the left, Ben, Wei-Ling, AJ, Judy, Mitch and me.

DEER!!!


Then we headed back to our campsite,... and it started to rain. (and it was COLD!!)

attempting to grill burgers in the rain. We are HARDCORE (ha)


For desert, Judy made a cherry cobbler thingie. It was AWESOME.


We all snuggled up in the tent and played hearts and chatted.

Next morning the weather was gorgeous!


apparently there were BEAR issues right near our camp site... but we never saw them.


since, due to the rain, we weren't able to make s'mores the night before, we made s'more pancakes in the morning instead. XD


also with apples


time to pack up!


Cheryll's obviously helping with her magical Raiden powers.


We took a last walk around and had a picnic before heading back home

Great pictures! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun!

I was only at Yosemite once (in Fall of '07) and it was so cloudy that you could hardly see anything. Plus no water in the falls.

ie, this is what Half Dome looked like:


I did get a nice one of El Capitan though! :-)

I went to Yosemite with my eighth grade class ('96? '97? Can't remember) and it was incredible. Though I did the mistake of doing the full Yosemite Falls hike the first day we were there, so I was shot for the rest of the week. So sore!

Woo! Rain is unfortunate, but you guys made the best of it. Thanks for sharing the photos. Looks like it was a wonderful time.

I've never been, but I totally want to go sometime. Did you guys rent bikes or bring your own?

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

both. :)

Gorgeous! Glad you had a great time :) Yosemite brings back memories for me visiting my old high school teacher up there. I'd really love to go camping at some point though.

Is it bad that I went "OMG ROSE COAT" before I even recognized you in that photo?


....Yes, yes it is.

Wow, gorgeous photos! Everything is so pretty, I wish I could go back to Yosemite! I've been, but it was *counts* about fifteen years ago.

Yay for Rose jacket! :D
