Yosemite Day 2

Our second day at Yosemite got off to a slightly later start, but we still made it to the park by 10 a.m. This time, the crowds were noticeably larger. A 45-minute wait at the entrance made us feel extra grateful for hitting the busier spots the day before.

Our first stop was Bridalveil Falls—honestly, kind of a letdown. Maybe it would’ve been more impressive earlier in the season with more water, or on a windier day when the mist kicks up. As it was, it was a quick, uneventful stop.

The next destination made up for it in every way: Glacier Point. Absolutely stunning. The views took our breath away. We snapped family photos, soaked in the scenery, and did some light exploring—capping off our Yosemite visit on the highest possible note.

Afterward, we headed back to the house for one last evening of relaxing, playing, and packing up.

The next morning, everyone split off in different directions: Annie, Dad, and Jean went back to San Francisco to fly home; Kevin, Sydney, and Skylar returned to L.A.; and Marley, Lainey, Faith, and I set out for our next adventure—Historic Route 66!
