I got to spend this weekend lazing around Yosemite, one of my most favorite past-times, even over Super-Bowl weekend. Of course living here on the west coast the super-bowl starts at about 3pm. Since we didn’t get on the road until about 2:30pm and there were about 180 miles of asphalt between the park and the couch there wasn’t much hope for getting back for the kick-off.

That’s just fine with me though – spending the morning climbing around huge rocks while getting sprayed by the fine mist of a waterfall coming from 2 thousand feet above more than makes up for it. We arrived home about 75% of the way through the third quarter and instructed the Tivo to show us the game from the beginning. The interesting parts of the game and commercials took about 90 minutes to get through – coincidently about the same amount of time it takes to make a pot of chili. All in all – the perfect weekend. And again a few different pictures of a few different places down in the valley:

This past weekend involved another trip to a place i love: Yosemite National Park. I can’t quite wrap my mind around the past couple of weeks, shifting between a rather drab work-week and then these fantastic places for about 50 hours. I guess that’s California for you, nothing’s more than a train ride (or a 3 hour drive) away.
