The family and I got back from an AMAZING weekend in Yosemite! We were there for my buddy Dave's wedding. I cannot believe that I have lived in California my entire life and have never been to Yosemite. I do not know how anyone could go into such a beautiful place like that and not thank God for creating it! Simply breathtaking!
I was honored to be Dave's best man for his wedding. We spent a couple of days together, just the two of us, hiking around the valley. It was a great time (insert homophobic gay joke here) together. It was good for the both of us as I got to share "secrets of marriage" and got to hear how happy he was to get married to Jen. And as much as I complained, Dave, I really enjoyed you trying to kill me running up to the top of Nevada Falls. And, thankfully, no bears broke into my car!
The wedding itself was awesome! I loved the whole day! Some of my favorite memories was breakfast with the boys at the Awahnee, second breakfast at the Awahnee bar, the unbelievable background scenery of the wedding, the "photo sessions" in the elevator, and connecting with old friends (Peter and Angie and Rachel and Aaron). My only wish about the wedding day and time was that I wish it was longer. I cannot wait to see the photos from the amazing photographers who stayed at Yosemite and put up with the diva...Dave.
The day after the wedding (Easter morning), Wes and Wyatt awoke to find the Easter bunny left a little gift for them. Unfortunately, a little "visitor" to our room found the basket first and there were several candies missing! After breakfast and packing we took a little hike to the lower Yosemite falls. We ate lunch at the base of the falls and Wes refused to look at the water because the mist was getting in his eyes. After hiking back to our car and standing a mile away from the base of the falls, Wes stated, "Hey, look...there's a waterfall there!" Glad he took in all the nature and beauty around him!
