Sequoias and Waterfalls!

 It's official! Flights have been booked. A cabin has been reserved. We have a honeymoon destination! Where are we going? Let's see if you can figure it out...
  • To begin with, cell phone reception may be spotty because of the mountain terrain, and may not be available at all in some locations.
Currently, Justin calls me around 9pm for our nightly conversations. I guess when we are at this location we won't need any cellphone service, since we do not have a 9 o'clock phone call to catch anymore!! (Oh, the little things make me excited!!)

Okay, was that not a good clue? I'll try again...
  • Remember Justin is a major part of the planning of our honeymoon, so of course there will be big trees in the vicinity!
Sequoias and Ponderosa Pines are just two of the trees we are anxious to see! (Since most of you know where Sequoias are found, this is a very good hint!)

Some intersting facts about our destination:
  • In 2007, 12 bears were hit by cars here! I guess the bears haven't learned to use the cross-walks yet! :)
  • The waterfalls are at their best in late May! Woo-hoo! Lucky us!
  • We expect to encounter relatively warm days, since the average high is 73 degrees and the low is 42 degrees. There is still a chance for an occasional winter storm, though. (The website says relatively warm days, but I am assuming, since we are both from the Southeast, that we may get a little chilly!)
So, have you figured it out? I'll give you a couple more clues:
  • Well, it is in California. We fly into San Francisco on Sunday, May 23!
  • From San Francisco we will drive east four hours until we reach our destination! :) 
A picture may help!




We're going to YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK!

We can't wait to have our own pictures of the beautiful sites to share with you, but for now, I had to steal them from Google Images!

We fly out of Atlanta on Sunday, May 23 to arrive in San Francisco late that night. The next day we plan drive the rental car four hours east to our cabin located in Yosemite! We will spend a relaxing week site-seeing and enjoying each others company!! We will drive back to San Francisco on Saturday and fly home to Charlotte on Sunday!

Justin and I are both really excited to have finally decided on a destination and we absolutely can not wait to go!

Looks like fun. Justin will be trying to figure out how to climb a Sequoia! Try to keep him on the ground!
