YOSEMITE THE GREAT.

"We got our sweatshirts. We got our sweatshirts on. Everybody's talking 'bout our sweatshirts. We got our sweatshirts on." I wish I had the music video we made for that lovely song.

THESE YOSEMITE SOCKS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE PART.

Not many words are needed to explain the wonder of Yosemite. It was amazing and wonderful and the whole time I couldn't decide what the best part was --the great gray stone cliffs of granite, the giant trees, the perfectly reflective lake, the waterfalls, or the PERFECT FOG.

And there was a lot of reflection in this park. I thought about how impromptu vacations are one of the things that really make life great. And why not? Life can just be one big vacation, because there are too many great things to do.

Laura and Liz, I should mention, were wonderful travel companions and the three of us daydream and text each other about this short heavenly trip on the daily. One day I'll go back and hike up to Tulomne Meadows lay in the grass and wildflowers and then I'll hike halfdome and feel like I'm standing on the top of the world!

Yosemite. Is the place. :)
