Yosemite

Spring is here! Let's go and enjoy the sun!
So we went to Yosemite. We went after school, and by the time we reached the area, it was dinner time and we went to Todd's BBQ and ordered the spare ribs dinner for two.

The meal combo comes with a full rack of ribs, potato salad, coleslaw, chilli and garlic bread.

Look at those ribs! Yumms.
After 4 hours of drive and tummy full of food, it's time for bed!


Day 1: Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias

Early the next morning, we went up to Mariposa Grove and it's still partially covered in snow!

After 2 miles, we reached 1st stop.

Everywhere is still covered in snow.

That's the snow melting away in the river.

This is the Fallen Monarch.

Look at how thick the snow is.

Photobucket

It's so hard to walk on snow without the snow shoes and I lost my foot at one point and slipped and fell on my bottom at another! Hehe...

California Tunnel Tree - 115 years old! The tunnel is wide enough to fit a mini car.

The El Capitan


The first time I went to Yosemite it was almost 10 years ago, I cannot believe how long it took me to revisit this beautiful national park. I will definitely go as often as I can now that I am in California! Come, come, let's go together! :)
