John and I are currently on a two week road trip through Northern California, Oregon, Washington (and hopefully) Vancouver. This is our fourth day in and so far we have seen Yosemite National Park and Sierra Nevada Brewery (in Chico, CA).
Yosemite was AMAZING! My two favorite parts of nature are mountains and waterfalls, I got BOTH! I was literally surrounded by both of them in Yosemite Val
ley. I am so happy that we got a chance to check out this national
park, it was a wonderful and beautiful experience! There were two downfalls to Yosemite: 1. It was BUSY and crowded and 2. John was sick :-( poor guy. Despite the crowds, John was a real trooper and let me drag him around from site to site. At one point, he told me to go ahead alone and he actually fell asleep on a rock for an hour. What a guy... thanks! He could barely move by the end of the day.
Below are some pictures of some highlights of the trip. The only one missing is the part where I got to walk under Bridalveil Falls! It was definitely a highlight, but not one I was willing to bring a thousand dollar camera on!

Vernal Falls- with a rainbow! This was the hike that I completed alone so that John could nap... he said this part was a highlight for him ;-)

Yosemite, we switched course and headed north to Chico, CA to visit Sierra Nevada Brewery. It was delish and awesome to visit! They have wayyy more beers than I thought and most of them are really good (in my opinion). I never took them to be such a creative brewery! After the brewery, we headed a bit further north to a HOTEL!! I have never taken such a lovely shower. Sorry I can't post pictures of that highlight ;-) I do not have the pictures ready yet from the brewery, so I will leave you with a bit of Sierra Nevada trivia:

Well our guess would be the third largest brewing company in the US. We do know however that they were established in 1980 and they are famous for their most popular beer, the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Dad prefers stouts though....did you have a chance to sample those?
Love...Mom & Dad
ps we would also like a growler filled for our prize!!
Lauren... you got it! I wonder how you knew that?!? Sorry... I'll buy you a beer when I get home... that's your prize ;-)
