would be staying home and I would get all my LA blogs done, but I read that today and tomorrow the National Parks were having free admissions so we decided to go see Yosemite.Neither of us had ever been, which seems kind of odd for two Californians...the stories of the crowds have always put us off.

So I took over 200 pictures and have to weed them out before I show you my favorites and I still have to share all our adventures on Wednesday and Thursday. I'll get to it all don't worry.
The waterfalls where gushing with all the snowmelt and the rivers were raging, we even saw a bear.

Another long but exciting day.
