Day of Wows

Having lived in California for 40 years we had not made the trip to Yosemite.  Well, today we kicked our selves for waiting so long, but because of the record snow pack this year, the waterfalls were the best they have ever seen.  I had a very hard time trying to limit the pictures, and still have too many, but bear with me,  unfortunately they don’t really tell the whole picture.

The meadows are under water in most areas, and some of the camping areas are out of commission, but other than that it was fine.  The news had expected the park to be very limited, thankfully they were wrong.

There were waterfalls every where.

On the way home we stopped at the pizza place that Nick Russell had raved about, and it was great.  Great ending to a perfect day.  Tomorrow is a kick back, do nothing day.
