Turns out Yosemite really is everything it's cracked up to be.
Neither of our parents ever took us, so David and I decided it was about time to take ourselves (especially now that we live only 5 hours away!) Gideon beat us there by a long shot – hopefully he'll make the trip again before he hits his 20s.
Happy Traveling!
January 13, 2017: the beginning of a beloved tradition
Her birthday's December 13th, mine's February 13th, so naturally the 13th of January is when we celebrate.

It was a really, really good day.
Happy Celebrating!

It's so crazy to think that is the same distance from SLO to LA, and we were crossing borders. And this is where we spent our first weekend in Europe...
