April 23-25, 2004: While living in Southern California, a friend and I decided to take a 3-day weekend and head up to Yosemite. This is where we stayed, the Wawona Hotel.
We walked to the bottom of beautiful Bridal Veil Falls. 
And we visited the beautiful and famous Ahwahnee Hotel.
We spent the entire next day hiking. First, we hiked to the top of Vernal Falls and then continued on to the top of Nevada Falls. 
You have to look really closely to notice that I am standing inside the middle of this tree. That gives you some perspective on how massive these treese are in the Mariposa Grove.

Stopping for a pic in the middle of our hike.
We made it to the top!
And what trip to Yosemite is complete without experiencing Half Dome? We didn't hike Half Dome (but I will next time I visit and there WILL be a next time!) But we did see Half dome at sunset and from many different angles during the day. Breathtaking.
Verdict: Absolutely, a must do, must see, must experience before you die!
