Yosemite/San Francisco

We went on a little trip just the two of us to Yosemite National Park and San Francisco. We flew into San Fran and then drove to Yosemite. (if we were to do it again we would stay the first night in SF and then drive the next day!) It's about 4 hours from SF to Yosemite, but we hit some awful traffic on the way out of town. We stayed at the Tenaya Lodge about 2 miles outside of the south gate into Yosemite. It was beautiful. The weather was perfect. The hotel was wonderful! Our room was great and comfortable.
The food at the hotel was good and being so close to the park was just perfect. On Saturday we got up and went into the park. We first drove to Glacier Point where you can see the Nevada and Vernal Falls and the Yosemite Falls, along with the valley of Yosemite. It was breathtaking. The views were amazing and again the weather was perfect. We had the perfect day. Our phones had no service and it was just the two of us. It was a dream!! After Glacier Point we went and ate lunch at the Wawona Hotel in the park and walked around there and then went to see the Giant Sequoias in Mariposa Grove. They are crazy huge! We walked around and looked at the trees and then headed back to the hotel. It was the perfect day!

Sunday we headed back to SF. That night we went to a Giants baseball game, which was fun!
Then Monday we went to Fisherman's Wharf and out to Alcatrez.
Alcatrez was very neat to see and hear the history. After we went to Ghiradelli Square and then back to the hotel to rest before dinner. Tuesday we shopped and rested and then headed home on Wednesday. We had a blast SF is so pretty and again the weather was amazing. I would go back for sure!
