Wawona in April, 2010

Tracy and I went for a quick get-a-way to Wawona last week. We got a two-fur-one deal in the mail a month or two ago, and we decided to buy while the price was low (they know we're impulse shoppers)! We were excited because a cold storm was coming down from the North the day before we went, and we were looking forward to some snow. We saw some pretty scenery at the higher elevations on the way there.




One of the things we look forward to when we go to Wawona is dinner. Yeah, I know, it doesn't sound very exciting, but we're not as young as we used to be. Inevitably, they cook-up a mean entree, or two.






The next morning we got up, had breakfast and headed for the Valley. This is what the hotel grounds looked like that morning -



When we got back in the afternoon, the scene was very different -



On the way in, there was still snow on the trees and some cool misty clouds lingering all around. (Click the image to open full-size.)



The misty clouds were camping out on the Valley walls when we arrived at Inspiration Point. Both of these are HDR pics -




The only draw-back to Wawona is, no AT&T cell towers in range. AND, the hotel doesn't provide any WiFi, can you imagine that? They don't have phones or TVs in any of the rooms and that's OK by me, but come on, a guy's gotta have his iPhone available. No network access on the iPhone just isn't right. Somehow Tracy is OK with that. Sometimes I don't understand girls.
