Every summer my family spends some time camping in Yosemite. It's a tradition that started about 6 or 7 years ago and this year was my 4th or 5th time going. It's quite a drive from Southern California, but SO worth it!
I spent 3 days up at Housekeeping Camp and shared a tent with my mom, my sister Savannah and three of her friends. Yep, there were two adults and
four ten year olds...a detail my mom conveniently forgot to leave out of the conversation before I left. :) It worked out fine though, they were all very well behaved and didn't get into too much trouble.
I spent my time there going for runs, reading and relaxing. I love to just sit down and listen to the sound of the wind in the trees. I didn't see any bears this year but we did hear a wolf howling not too far from camp one night! Half Dome wasn't on my agenda this year since we weren't there with any family friends. Normally we have a group make the trek but I don't think it would have been wise to attempt it on my own. Instead I visited Vernal Falls and Mirror Lake. Pictures can be viewed

It's summertime, so in my world, that means time to hit the road and do some camping in Yosemite. Every year my family stays at Housekeeping Camp for a little R&R. It's one of my favorite places to explore and take pictures, so, pretty much the minute I got there, I put on my tennis shoes and got to work. No matter how many times I visit, it never gets old. In a span of 4 days, I took over 100 pictures. Don't worry, I picked out the best ones...enjoy!
