Yosemite Video Clip

Yosemite is my childhood dream vacation. We used to go there every summer and sometimes in the winter. I think that that is where my parents honeymooned, is that right Dad?? When I was too little to go on the day or 1/2 day mule rides with my siblings, I would get to ride a pony or ride in the hiking backpack while hanging out with my parents. I loved the "indian caves", the waterfall, dipping in the Merced River, early morning ranger hikes, bird walks with my Dad, late night card games, firepit popcorn, s'mores, hot chocolate, breakfast at the lodge or at our table at the camping site, skiing at badger pass (where I first learned to ski), movies at the lodge, the open-air tram...I LOVE YOSEMITE. As a new adult, I camped and climbed half-dome (the normal way, not the face) and loved Yosemite more. I decided that I'd never put myself through hiking that mtn again, but I think I'd love to hike it with T. now that I've had time to recover---15 yrs. hehe :-)

I want you to view the video of Yosemite. Post your memories. We get to go this year and I am elated to share it with my husband and children and hope it becomes one of our traditions, too.
