So, I went camping at Yosemite this weekend for Mr. Jose's birthday. It was quite the adventure. We got there at about 4pm on friday and discovered that the Curry Village tents we stayed at wasn't exactly what some would call "roughing it." The tents were quite spacious and could sleep 4 ppl comfortably. Instead of cots, there beds complete with sheets, pillows, and blankets. And they even provided towels. The tents were also heated which was nice because it got downright cold.

It pretty much rained all of Saturday, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits. We couldn't grill any of the food we brought but we still managed to hike in the very cold rain up to Vernon falls. It was beautiful. It was only a 3 mile hike, but seriously it felt like the longest 3 miles since it was mostly up hill and stairs. I always think hiking is an awesome idea, but when I'm actually on the hike, I'm pretty much dreading every minute of it and wanting it to end. But when it's actually over, I'm glad I did it and feel very accomplished.

We woke up Sunday morning to find the area covered in snow. We had a brief moment of panic when someone told us that all the roads were closed and we would have to stay another night. but turns out that person was wrong and we were able to leave quite easily and without having to spend $70 on chains.

It was a very fun trip. It's been a while since i've seen snow fall and it was pretty darn amazing.

oh and happy birthday jose! :)
