I took my little brother and his girlfriend to Yosemite on wednesday we left early in the morning and got on the hiking trails around midday. Myles showed me how unfit I was and what a difference 9 years makes to your body! We hiked the Mist Trail to Nevada Falls stopping for lunch at Vernal Falls and then took the John Muir Trail back down.

We stayed the night at Upper Pines Camp Grounds after having hor deurves at the beautiful Awanhee and then heating up some spag bol at the camp site finishing off with smore’s on the camp fire and an early to bed. I used my tent that goes on the back of the truck with the very comfortable blow up mattress in the back – Gucci camping!

On Thursday we got up and drove to Monterey it took a while to get out of the valley as they were doing a managed burn of the undergrowth. In Monterey I had to get set up for some diving while Myles and Annabelle walked around Fisherman’s wharf. Then it was off to 17 mile drive to see how the wealthy live and a long drive up to Los Gatos to stay at Mary’s house overlooking Silicon Valley.
