Day 13: Yosemite
Good morning from San Francisco! We woke up this morning at a church downtown, bright and early. We then started our drive to Yosemite.
Our first stop was at Walmart. We were unpleasantly surprised when we realized you had to pay $5 for a bag!!!!! (you’re lying) On our way there, we ate our honeybuns and applesauce.
A long and windy drive led us to the redwood forest of Yosemite. Most of us slept on the way, considering V woke us up at 5, and others were knocked out due to drugs (motion sickness medicine). We were astonished when we woke up and saw the view we had driven all morning for.
Upon our arrival at Yosemite, Wyatt told us an alarming story about the Sequoian tribe and their call (wowowowowow). We hopped on a shuttle and headed to a hiking point. From there, we embarked on a short hike through the forest. We quickly approached the Grizzly Giant tree. We took a few photos and headed back to the shuttle.
One of our favorite parts was driving through the tunnel. We all tried to hold our breath while Ian whipped the van through the tunnel. Ian may or may not have driven a little wild, but we got there safely!
The gift shop was more expensive than what all of our weddings combined would be. Someone dropped hundreds of dollars (their name may start with J and end with osh). Overall, we had a fantastic time shopping.
We love stopping for pictures despite the freezing weather. Wondering how much our pictures would sell for, anyone wanna buy? We took our daily group photo and ran back onto the bus to warm up. 
This was our favorite drive so far; some say it was an even better view than the Grand Canyon.
The campsite is gorgeous and green as we arrived. The weather could not have been more opposite. Dinner tonight is Hamburger Helper, which should be good. It is 8pm, we are so excited to be the new bloggers and even more excited to eat!
We are so excited for an early morning. Everyone is loving California so far, and there is so much to see. Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog update, where we travel to Utah and lick the salt flats!
