Road Trip: San Fran to Bass Lake via Yosemite National Park

 
Leg 1: 218mi, 4hr55min

So this is the unofficial start of our road trip across the country, well at least to Chicago. Unofficial because we didn't drive this segment- we will pick up our rental car after Yosemite.

We started off Friday morning with my brother driving. We had a great trip, taking our time through the park and a detour to Yosemite Valley.

We even got to crawl through a fallen sequoia tree in Tuolumne Grove. Unfortunately Mariposa Grove is closed for restoration, but we enjoyed seeing some baby giants. 
 
We met dad and BK at the cabin in Bass Lake, and of course we couldn't miss out on burger Friday!

Back in the USA

I've finally decided to try and start blogging again. Great timing as we are nearing the end of our road trip but I'll try to catch up on the past month or so. We started with a great week in the San Fran area visiting my family. Mom was a great tour guide showing us the greater San Francisco area. So great to see her again.

If you're ever in the Bay Area

There's so much to see and do!


Our week in San Fran just flew by. It started with Burger Night on Friday when we got in- what a treat it was to have a family dinner with all three of us home at once and such an array of toppings for our burgers. Yum!



We headed to Sausalito on Saturday and took the ferry across to San Fran city. It's always nice to get out on the water, and we had a fun day walking and people watching. The line for the ferry was very slow moving, but we were lucky enough to have a man and his dog entertain us with their singing and guitar playing.




Sunday we met up with S & K, who live in Haight. It was a windy day, and we had to learn to walk quickly to keep up with them!

Monday we went to a Giants game. It was P's first time in the stadium- I love the view from there.

We spent the rest of the week hanging out with mom and family- it was good to be home for a bit. We went to Santa Cruz, Berkeley Bowl, bowling, and we even saw Jerry Rice on the golf course.
