4th of July in Yosemite National Park

July 5, 2011 By radmegan 22 Comments

I’m just in the door after a long weekend at one of the most beautiful National Parks I’ve been to in a while. Yosemite National Park was home for the weekend while the mister and I celebrated two years wed! 

We rode bicycles with mouths agape, marveling at all of the natural beauty (waterfalls, baby deer, and majestic mountains, Oh MY!) We swatted mosquitoes in vain. Itch, itch, scratch, scratch…. Roasted marshmallows, and lit a sparkler to celebrate our 4th of July nuptials. 

It was a perfect weekend in the great outdoors and hopefully the best way for me to snap back into reality. After all of our travels abroad, I had quite a bit of trouble focusing on projects last week, but after a few lung-seizingly cold splashes in the high and fast waters of the Merced River, I feel focused, grounded, and ready to show the rest of this summer who’s boss!
Our 2nd year anniversary gift to each other was renewing our National Parks Annual Pass. We were talking about all of the National Parks we’ve visited together in the past couple of years, and are now making a to-do list of National Parks yet to visit! That’s my kind of to-do list! What are you favorite National Parks? Will you be visiting them this year? Hope you all had a fun and safe 4th of July weekend!!

    Manufacturers of certain penis enhancement creams point out
    that their product reduces extra fat, while improving sexual function of the body.

    Manufacturers will promise everything in order to get you to accumulate their product and
    take advantage of your want to attain larger penis.
    Any individual, about the other hand, that’s hypersensitive to your of the remedies need to, certainly, not normally take them.

    Among the natural red colors, purple sweet potatoes (PSP) is becoming an industry standard for color
    stability with added benefits of a healthy halo that
    accompanies a vegetable juice concentrate, says the study’s abstract on purple potatoes.
    There are quite a few brands of blood pressure monitors.

    As far as diet is concerned you should completely avoid salty,
    spicy, sugary and fatty foods.

    Make positive you ask any roofing contractors for proof of
    insurance coverage before signing a agreement or letting
    get the job done to get started. With service extending
    from Charlotte into Concord NC and surrounding areas,
    the order of the day is to create an excellent customer experience.
    It’s as simple as ‘clicking’ the link below and typing
    in some basic information about the persons or family-homeowner in need,
    along with a photo of the home needing the roof.

    I guess we don’t pull our own teeth these days, so it stands
    to reason that we wouldn’t prepare our own legal documents and try to present a case on our own. Secondly, most of the
    times, the injury does not appear to be serious, but it actually would be.
    An accident lawyer can help you avoid making a hasty decision to settle for less
    than you should.

    Some sellers are dropping prices on those items to
    sell out quickly. They built it up and lead into it with not one, not two, not even three or four, but five stand alone movies based on their individual characters.
    Find out about the role that you will be playing and try to get as much information as you can,
    to help you get into character easily.
