Kayaking

Just my hobby. Love hanging out in the Back Bay.
Sometimes I bring the boys if it's a day off of school.
And sometimes I bring Bobby...
...if it's our 19th Anniversary!

But mostly I bring my friend Tana. She's my kayaking buddy.

So here's the routine. Kayak from the Back Bay to Balboa Island, park the boats, get an ice cream and shop a little, then kayak back hoping our treasures don't get soaked!

Yosemite!

A gorgeous view of Glacier Point

Just out of the tunnel, we had to take the traditional Yosemite pic
of El Capitan and Half Dome!

Kevin and Chad in front of Yosemite Falls.

You can tell we were there in late July since the falls are so slow!

Kev loved Yosemite Falls so much!

Fishing at Bass Lake. Looks like a BIG one!

Bobby helping Kev figure it out!


We decided to stay at the Ahwahnee Hotel for one night.

Gotta do it once in a lifetime!

You can't even describe the dining room at the Ahwahnee.

There's no way to capture it in a photo. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Making the hike up to Nevada Falls

Sheesh! Almost there!

Yep. We made it!

Going down was an adventure too! Such a warm day!

Back at the house, we finished our puzzle.

The next day we did Glacier Point.

Took a hike our last day there in a gorgeous meadow along El Capitan.

Another part of the meadow. It was deserted. Loved it!

In July we went to Yosemite with Bobby as our trusty leader. Our neighbor has a home in Oakhurst, and invited us to stay there for 10 days. We spent five days actually in Yosemite. What a beautiful, relaxing vacation! We booked one night at the Ahwahnee Hotel, and had a great time there mid-way through our trip. Looking forward to doing it again in the winter.
