And, Yosemite... just breath taking isn't it?

Its amazing. We did consider stopping for a cocktail but with one of us driving we gave it a miss. A beautiful hotel though, I had serious envy for the bride.

Its an incredible place, different I know but I preferred it to the Grand Canyon. Strangest thing with the colleague, we bumped into them again last night in the Ikea 50 minutes away form our house! Sooo very weird, in the 4 years since Aaron worked with him they have never bumped into each other and not twice in a couple of weeks! Spooky

As do I, Id like to think I could take children (if we ever settle down and have any ) in the future, its the kind of place you want to share with others isn't it!?

How far is the Mist Trail to walk? Does that take you to the Vernal Falls? I haven't researched the different trials yet so don't know which ones we are doing -that one looks lovely though.

You will love the Yosemite View Lodge, its beautiful.

Yes the mist trail takes you to Vernal Falls and you can also carry on to Nevada Falls but that's a much longer hike. I cant remember how many miles the hike is now but it took us about 2 hours to go up and about 50 minutes to come back down. That's with a lot of stopping to take photos / admire the views!

Do it, its amazing

Thanks for the info - the Mist Trail looks lovely so we may do that one. I know a lot of the lakes/falls will be dry when we go in August but the Vernal falls is supposed to be year-round, so hoping to see that .

Thanks for getting back to me - enjoy the rest of your trip. I am loving your trip report, it is making me very excited for when we go.

I haven't been to Yosemite since I was a child, so my memories of it are a bit fuzzy. Your beautiful photos make me realize I need to go back. Ugh though on the ant invasion! Your room with the balcony sounds ideal to me though. It does look like you had a lovely day.
