Paul and I had an amazing weekend getaway, just the two of us! We got the cabin for the weekend and made plans to do all sorts of hiking in the valley. That got derailed when PO hurt his back the week before we left. We ended up having a blast anyways, as we always do when we are together! Here's a few highlights from our trip;
We walked around the meadow in Foresta and checked out the old cemetery.
We hung out by the barns near the meadow and actually explored the inside of one of them! PO and I were so intrigued by the way these old barns were built and it was so cool to poke around inside!
We tried hiking out to the big rocks in the meadow, but I got scared of rattlesnakes, so we turned around!
We headed into the valley to do some exploring and stopped at the old church and took some pictures of the amazing scenery!
PO purchased an awesome little gadget, the Joby, so we were able to attach our camera to a tree branch (or wherever!) and take some cool pictures of ourselves!
Here's a shot of the sun setting on our first night at the cabin. The view from the deck is spectacular!!
Saturday morning we got up early and drove to Wawona and walked around the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias.
The Australian woman we passed was "Just not impressed" with the grove, but we had fun hiking around and taking pictures!
We stopped at Cascade Creek and took a very quick dip in the COLD water! This place reminds me of being a kid and jumping off the rock!
Saturday evening we kicked back and relaxed and enjoyed the peace and quiet. I cooked an Italian dinner (gargonzola gnocchi, roasted roma tomatoes, and asparagus with bacon bits) and we enjoyed some wine. It was an amazing way to wrap up our AWESOME weekend!
