Yosemite Valley

We're back!

Hope you all had a wonderful week. I'm so looking forward to catching up on all your blogs.

Our Yosemite spring break getaway was totally relaxing and wonderful. My brother and I stayed at the Evergreen Lodge, which I booked through my favorite website of all time, Jetsetter (you should all sign up!).

When we checked in they randomly upgraded us to a gorgeous 3 room cabin. It was really cozy and had an adorable summer camp like feel about it. Our favorite part was that every night they gave us free smores from 7-8 pm! Score.

During the day we hiked, climbed, and took lots of misty photos. Yosemite is absolutely breathtaking in the springtime.

My brother is a really amazing photographer and is always encouraging me to switch back to film, so for this trip I dusted off my Cannon Rebel-G and started clicking away. I'm pretty much a convert at this point. Long live film!

 

 

We also got a chance to take a peek at the famous (and newly renovated) Ahwahnee Hotel. It felt like something straight out of Harry Potter.

On our way home we passed by these two historic barns that have been preserved and retrofitted. We thought they were so gorgeous and just couldn't get enough of them.

 

On our drive back to SF we stopped to take some shots of the windmills on 580 that I'm utterly in love with. Aren't they so bizarre and quirky?

That's a rap folks! Hope you enjoyed our photos as much as we enjoyed taking them. If you'd like to see the rest, visit my flickr page here.

And if you're planning a trip to Yosemite and want any tips/recommendations, don't hesitate to ask. :) xo.
