Back to school camping trip
August 18, 2008

Posted by CindyW in : Green Journal , trackback

Can you go anywhere without seeing “back to school sales” signs this week? Indeed school is starting for my kids next week. Before that happens, we are escaping to our back-to-school family camping trip for a few days.

Yosemite, here we come!

While Yosemite valley is breathtakingly beautiful, my personal favorite is Tuolomne Meadows in the Yosemite National Park where the sky is open, the domes are spectacular and the tourists are pleasantly fewer.

This is what we will see:

Be back in a week!

Have a wonderful time. Is there a more magical place than Yosemite. Make sure to rent some bikes and cruise along the bike paths. There are lots of hidden picnic spots, far from other visitors.

I LOVE Tuolomne! We camped there every summer when I was a kid, and a couple summers ago my husband went back and it was just as wonderful as I remembered it from my childhood. Don’t miss the soda springs. We scooped out water and added kool-aid to it — an unforgettable taste of my childhood.

Gorgeous pictures. I know they look better in reality.

I finally figured out how to pronounce Yosemite.

Need some help from you..
I’ve never been to Yosemite. Wanna go for camping on coming Labor Day weekend. How do I book the camp site?
Thanks,
