A place in Nature...

With 2010, the worst year in our lives, in the books we planned a very special trip. We had often talked about taking a trip to Yosemite national park, but never followed through. We made lodging, partly outside the park, partly inside and set off for our trip. It was a dreary rainy trek and when we got to the entrance of the park, it was lightly snowing and the clouds and fog were very low. With most of the tall grand landmarks under of veil of clouds, we roamed the village saw some of the bottom part of a couple of falls and had fun. The kids made a snowman and captured snowflakes on their tongues. The weather was getting worse so we slowly trekked out of the park seeing some coyotes, hawks, and families at play either having snowball fights or building snowmen. It was magical.

The next day we went skiing at the badger pass ski area and it was crystal clear blue skies and crisp. We had another magical day and will remember that trip for a very long time...
