Last weekend we went to Yosemite Park. We were asked by a friend to go camp with her and a friend. They were going to go on a hike on Saturday up to Glacier Point. We have been wanting to go to Yosemite since we got to Cali but we haven't had a chance to go. I was really excited to go not only because I heard how great Yosemite was but also because our friend had made reservations for a campsite in the park and I knew that this would be Antonio's first time sleeping in a tent and camping in general. We had talked about going a few times to Colorado but never did and we also did not own a tent either...so we bought a tent and brought out our coolers. We were able to sleep very well because our tent fit our queen size air mattress that we bought when we didn't have a bed to sleep in when we moved to our new apartment. We went on a 13 mile hike. On the way up we went on a trail called "4 mile trail" and "Panorama" down. It was pretty intense at times but the views throughout the hike and when we got to the top it was so worth it. It took us about all day to do the whole hike. Since it had snowed 4-5 days before we got there about 10in there was snow on the trail at times which got packed down by all the hikers which made it pretty icy at times which was kinda scary if you think about it, we could have slipped and rolled down the mountain. As I look through the pictures it just doesn't show how big and how beautiful it really was. It was amazing! So, if any of you are coming to visit us (wink, wink!) we should go together, it's only about 3.5 hours away from where we live. It was a great trip and we had such a great time!!!! Can't wait to go again!

| Antonio carrying both of our bags for awhile, everyone kept saying he was like a machine, we were all huffing and puffing after the first few hours of going up hill and he was just full of energy. He insisted that he should carry my bag for awhile plus his camera backpack!!! |

| This was a huge rock, I know it's hard to see but it seems like we couldn't even fit 1/4 of the rock in our lense! |
