The vacation was awesome!  We just got back today from a 3 day trip up to Sequoia and Yosemite.  The vacation started off at a nice and secluded cabin near the entrance to Sequoia.  It was so secluded that we had to drive 7 miles up a mountain.  It was worth it though.  Peaceful and relaxing.  Here is a pic of the cabin:

One thing we saw at the cabin were a lot of lizards.  They were funny little guys that would all of the sudden start doing push ups.  It was really funny.  I looked it up and found out that it is a form of communication for the lizard that is still being researched…I got a kick out of it.

We spent the night at the cabin and then early the next morning we drove into Sequoia to see the big trees and amazing views.  Here are a few pics of Sequoia.

After a day at Sequoia we went back to our cabin and spent the night and then the next morning drove to Yosemite.  We saw amazing waterfalls as you’ll see here: (The left pic is Yosemite Falls, the right pic is Bridal Viel Falls)

Also here is a nice short video that has good footage of the trees and the waterfalls.  Throughout the video I confuse Redwoods with Sequoia but in reality they are from the same family.

After Yosemite we went and spent a night at Mariposa which is right outside of Yosemite.  It was definitely what Pam and I needed.  Pam is officially done with school, now all she has to do is walk across a stage on Friday to get the ole’ s diploma…which is cool as now we can have fun again.

To end this post here is a nice pic of Pam and me at Yosemite:
