A goat says what?!?!?!

We enjoyed the gorgeous weather last week and ventured out to the Austin Zoo!

 Blowing kisses to the big kitties...

 waving to the goats...

 rode the train...

 watched mama rub the goats ear...(he liked it)

 toddlers love walking on things they aren't suppose to...

 new murals at the zoo...

and since she was able to see goats in person...she has perfected her goat sound...

Yosemite Park

After about 5.5 hours (but it really went by super fast) of driving, we made it!

 and again, the drive was SO worth it!!

 we really had no idea what to expect of the park. like I said, we really didn't have an agenda of going there. I had never looked it up on line, nothing. Just knew the trees were there, and that's what we wanted to see...needless to say... we were AMAZED at Yosemite's beauty...

 still in search of bears...no such luck...

 this waterfall is called Bridal Veil Falls. it is GORGEOUS. it flows from the top of mountains, and as it cascades down, freezes and ice is all over the rocks...

 we hiked about one mile down to the bottom...

 other areas of the park looked like this...

 smelling the mountain air and taking it all in...

next up...finally...we make it to the redwoods...

Tahoe continued...Road trip to Yosemite

One thing on both of Matt's and my bucket list to see is the huge redwood trees in Cali. Since we were in Tahoe for a week (and before we left we talked about it), we said if weather permitted we would drive to Yosemite to see them.  In the spring/summer/fall it would only take about 2.5 hours to get there. As of Dec. 1. they start closing some of the main roads in, out and around the park for the winter. SOOOO, after much planning, talking with concierge, figuring out a route, we made the 5.5 hour trip there...and it was SOOOO worth it!

Just look at this sunrise we saw on the way...

 of course we stopped here and there at overlooks, took pics, and stretched...

 saw "happy California cows" 

 and Cali countryside...kinda looks like Texas if you ask me...

even in Cali...you're never too far from LG

 if you look closely...this is a SUPER windy road around mountains...we could only drive about 10mph through this part, and hope to goodness we didn't go off the edge=)

Yikes is right!!!
