It is hard to describe Yosemite, even the pictures don’t seem to do it justice. I think it is the only time my breath was literally taken away by something being so beautiful (or maybe it was just hard to breath with the altitude)

Here is a small spattering of the best pics and videos.

We did a lot of driving. Luckily, Olivia kept us entertained with her original songs.

Even through they restricted the number of visitors (which made it really nice), there were still parts and hikes that were too crowded for us to feel safe. Instead, we drove until we found a secluded little spot where we could hike and play in the water.
