So, we were defeated by a mountain. It's no big deal... The mountain has been there a lot longer than I've been alive. And, it is certainly much larger than I.
The trail to Half Dome was the usual super highway this past weekend. We didn't start on the trail until after 9am. With the shorter days, that just didn't give us enough time to make it all the way to the top. We made it 2 miles from the top of Half Dome and decided that we'd rather turn back and have time for a campfire with S'mores. Priorities! Our legs are hurtin' so as far as I'm concerned: Mission Accomplished. We hiked from 9am to 7pm, saw beautiful water falls, conquered many stairs, and got a great workout!
The boys cooked up a wonderful dinner of chicken, pasta, and peas. I was even served the S'more fixins and had a great time roasting!
On Sunday we watched some climbers tackling El Capitan. That is quite a feat. Let me tell you, they don't move very fast.... The joy in watching was the act of searching for all the different groups on the rock. It was like a "Where's Waldo" book.
As with every trip to Yosemite, it was a great weekend!
