We headed up to Big Bear for 10 days. We spent a lot of time getting familiar with our new family cabin, the locals and taking advantage of the beautiful scenery. Our friends, the Yeums, came up for a few days, which is always a good time. I witnessed a woman throw herself out of a moving vehicle, which scared the $#%* out of me. Oh, and I even saw buffalo for the very first time :)
Next stop was Yosemite. On our way up, we stopped in my home town for my niece's 2nd birthday. It's always nice seeing the family, especially when they've got a huge bounce house in the backyard.
Yosemite is...GORGEOUS! I didn't want to leave after 3 days. We went swimming in the river, hiked up Vernal Falls, oh and John chased away a black bear from our camp. I didn't sleep very much that night.
This was an awesome vacation!
