We rode down to Happy Isles Nature Center, and admired the views.
Violet found this cool bit of wood.
We the rode down to Mirror Lake, a spot I remember visiting on our first trip, but Stace hadn't been before.
The bike routes around the Valley floor are so well done, and the weather and scenery were awesome.
Mirror Lake is nearly right under Half Dome, so the views were fantastic again.
But as for the lake? Missing in Action!
We found a nearby boulder to sit on, under the trees, for some snacks and drinks before riding on.
We stopped at the fancy, nearly 100-year-old Ahwahnee Hotel to look around. We checked out the shop and ordered nice drinks at the bar.
Cheers!
Violet found it amusing that her dad was enjoying his pricey gin and tonic with a PB&J from our bag.
We rode on to Yosemite Village, where we went in the big store and the Ansel Adams Gallery.
By then, it was late enough to check into our night's accommodations at Housekeeping Camp, right by the Merced River. We got settled in and made dinner - at Housekeeping, you can cook food and have a fire pit near your cabin. We cooked up onions and sausages and put them in pitas with hummus - so tasty and a new idea for us for camping food. We took the finished result with our chairs to the river.
Now that's a dinner view! After eating, we walked along the river, returned to our cabin and made a fire and read until bedtime.
