It was a long, winding journey throughout Yosemite but 100% worth it, with the unforgettable views of Yosemite Falls, Half Dome and the breath taking Glacier Point. Yosemite is a destination that reminds you how beautiful Earth truely is and all the glory of mother nature, from the skyscraper trees to the jaw dropping cliffs. Next trip, we will attempt to do more hiking and dare I say some camping? To be determined. We were on a tight schedule and took the comfortable route, taking in the view with the car seat warmers on. It was a warm 70 degrees before we left, but temperatures dropped drastically to 42 degrees at the top. We stopped off at the look out locations while trucking to the top, witnessing everything from forest fires to hail and snow.

I have been sitting back in LA, with the fan blowing directly on me as the temperature has been reaching mid-90s, observing my friends and family back home on the East Coast enjoying the cool, brisk, fall weather. I was jealous, sad, hot – I had to get out and find me a piece of fall. A heaven, somewhere where the foliage is prominent, the air is brisk and the view is perfection. My little family (hubs, fur baby and I) packed our bags and set off for a weekend get away. Our destination was in Northern California at the cutest cabin that sat on the side of a mountain in Twain Harte, just an hour or so out from Yosemite National Park. We left on a Friday and got caught in terrible LA traffic due to unexpected mudslides which delayed us about 4 hours … but 9.5 hours later, we made it! Our first day we decided to relax and explore the area. We did some souvenir shopping downtown, then ventured back to the cabin to explore the mountain up close with the […]
