Yosemite bound

Hello Everyone,

Well, we are back from a pre-weekend of fun in Yosemite. It was great. Good weather, scenic, warm and pretty relaxing for the most part. It was a first for many things.... Logan's first trip to the Valley, his first time getting his feet wet in the Merced river, Kt's first time downhill skiing in California, and our first time staying in the Awhanee hotel. They upgraded our room for free so we had a balcony on the 4th floor facing Yosemite Falls and the other window (we had a corner unit) faced Glacier Point. The views were incredible of course, and the room was really nice inside too. Wine in the evening and coffees for breakfast on the balcony was definitely hard to beat. I think a couple thousand feet up a wall is the only view better, but the sleep isnt nearly as good as the hotel.
Kt, tore it up at Badger Pass on Thursday too with AmyJo and Bevan. It was a total bluebird day, and although it was T-shirt skiing weather KT had a blast and even jumped on a Black Diamond on her first day out. She did awesome as expected. Logan and I hung out in the Chalet and watched for most of the day.
As mentioned earlier, Logan dipped his feet in the Merced to cool off after staring at El Cap while his old man pointed out some routes he did back in the day. There's still one more route to do, so maybe he will get to watch me one of these days. One of Logan's highlights among the plethora, was scrunching his toes in the sand too. He had a total blast and couldnt stop wiggling those lil dogs in the soft sand along the shore.
Today we headed up to the Super Nova wall to take in the views of Cascade Falls, Rostrum and Reed's Pinnacle. There were some climbers heading up Reed's Direct and despite my best efforts not to give a play-by-play, he may have gotten too much beta to call it an onsight when his day comes.... haha
All in all, we had a fabulous time and it was really hard to leave as it always is. We're definitely planning our return trip this fall after we get back from our summers excursions.
YAY, cant wait already!!!
