We're back from our wonderful trip with my Mom and Dad to Yosemite, surely one of the most majestic places on earth. It is hard to overstate the hugeness and beauty of the wide open vistas there; even as things grew in my memory over the past few years since our last trip, they didn't outgrow the reality of that lovely valley. Here's Dad, Nephi, Caleb, and I on our hike down the Panorama Trail from Glacier Point to the valley floor, which winds around the valley giving changing views of Half Dome and crossing Illouette Falls before heading down the Mist Trail by Nevada and Vernal Falls. Most excellent. Dad, who claims to have never worn a backpack in his life before this day, says he is glad he did it but will never do it again. We're glad he was with us!
