Yosemite: Day 2

Apparently President Obama was visiting Yosemite today and it created quite the crowd! There was security detail everywhere and lots of news crews all around! 

Unfortunately Sydney and I did not see our dear president. But we did visit some other cool places!

First we went to the "museum" and "gallery" and I put these in quotation marks because they lacked pizzazz. They were basically gift shops. 

But after that we headed to mirror lake...

And then to the lower Yosemite falls...

Both were pretty spectacular!

Unfortunately we didn't go to bridal veil falls or El Capitan but maybe I'll go bad again someday. 

Also, did you know that half dome wasn't ever a full dome? It was eroded into a sharp edge that looked like it split in two! 

So tomorrow we head over to Death Valley (cue the horror music). 

It's going to be around 114 degree Fahrenheit! 

Hopefully we'll survive!
