VACATION DAYS #5 & 6: Wednesday & Thursday, June 10th & 11th

WEDNESDAY (Lake Tahoe)

I didn't send a post on Wednesday because we didn't take any pictures.  It was a cold start to our day, but was great after we were able to cancel our meeting with the resort for Thursday without any problems!  

Going to South Lake Tahoe before summer officially starts is silly. There are a lot of things to do d

uring winter and summer.  Everyone kept reminding us it's still spring and therefore the outdoor activities were still closed. :(  We spent the day walking around the shops and

 driving around town.  I was able to squeeze in a LOVELY chair massage after a nap and we watched a movie in our room called "The Changling".  We recommend this movie for anyone interested in American history!!!  

THURSDAY (Yosemite)

Today we drove through more windy roads up several thousand feet (summit was past 9,000 feet) into Oakhurst.  We drove through the entire Yosemite Park and had a huge highlight on our 3 hour drive ... BEARS!!!  Unfortunately the camera battery died, but we do have a lot of pictures of a mama bear and her babies! You'll have to check back tomorrow to see the pictures while the battery recharges!!!  We are staying in a lovely bed & breakfast half an hour from Yosemite's south entrance called Houndstooth Inn.   The wine hour is all night and the house has 12 rooms that are all booked for the evening.  Seems like a popular place to stay. :)  We had an awesome dinner at Todd's BBQ and are wrapping the evening up watching "Michael Clayton" in our room compliments of the owners. :)

Tomorrow's plan is more Yosemite (with charged batteries) and hiking. :)
