Father’s Day weekend we headed to one of our nation’s most
beautiful locations, Yosemite National Forest, on the way to spend the weekend
with my dad in Mariposa.
We are lucky
enough to live only 3 hours from this treasure and were happy to check it off
our “Exploring California” checklist.
The park was busy and despite very thorough and thoughtful
advanced planning on Jeff’s part, we forgot the entire box of non-perishable
food that we were bringing for the weekend.
Not deterred, we stopped at a convenience store and bought supplies for
a picnic which we enjoyed at Cathedral Beach. It was by far the most beautiful picnic
location I have ever been to, breathtaking is an understatement. Sometimes I wonder if the kids are too young to
appreciate a place like this, but when we were sitting on the beach eating our
picnic they were all in awe of it. Logan
even turned to me and said, “thank you for taking us to this place, it’s
awesome!”
After Cathedral Beach we made the mild trek to Bridalveil
Falls and then headed to Dad’s house. We
spent the night hanging out with my sister and dad, enjoying time together in
the mountains where he lives. The next
day I drove the kids home and Jeff stayed behind to go zip lining through the
forest with Meg and Dad. They had a
great time, all in all a wonderful Father’s Day weekend.
