First Day At Yosemite

Today we woke up around 5:45 and went to the general store at Rush Creek. We picked up a bunch of breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Then we hit the road to Yosemite. Rush creek is only a mile from the Big Flat Oak Entrance. It was about a 45 minute drive to the Lower Falls parking lot. The drive was beautiful. We found a really tight parking spot. There was a good amount of parking there when we got there around 8:30. The first thing we did was the Lower Yosemite Falls Trail and I’m glad we did. It was really cool and paved the whole way, so it’s easy if you need to take a stroller. Then we took the shuttle to Curry Village for food. We had the pizza and it was delicious, just like everyone was saying online. After that we took the shuttle to Mirror Lake. I thought the trail was paved but we got on the wrong one. It was slightly rugged, but we did it. My sister, Jared, and Adeline ended up going back to the resort. My dad took a fall and that was pretty scary, but he was ok. Lucas was so tired after the hike. We took the shuttle back to our car and we dropped mom and dad off at the resort. We picked up food for everyone at Lucky Buck Cafe. It was a small restaurant about 15 minutes from the resort. The food was pretty good and a lot cheaper than eating at the resort. After dinner we went to the pool for a bit. Then we went to bed.
