Wish You Were Here!


It's that time of year - the Misers are thinking about getting away from it all. There are some seriously good travel deals out there right now, and we've been toying with the idea of going somewhere exotic and far away. But then reality sets in, and the idea of charging a trip on our credit card just doesn't sit well with this Miser. Maybe we could take Bee out of town for a few days, someplace not too far away. Then in dawns on us. Let's go to one of the most beautiful places on earth that is right here in California. Yosemite! Sparky and I were there about eight years ago right at the height of Spring, and it was achingly beautiful. We camped outside of the park on the Tulmae River, and spent a day riding rented bikes around the National Park. We were on our way to a wedding so we didn't have the time to really see Yosemite, but we always wanted to go back someday. And it looks like that someday is now! Bee would love it there, we can rent bikes again with a toddler tow, and pedal all around. We'll stay inside the Park, bring our own food to cook, and stay for a couple of nights. That won't break the bank, we'll go during some weekdays in early May, right before it gets insanely crowded. We'll take route 395, which is one of our favorite drives. I cannot wait, it's good to have vacation plans. And maybe next year we'll be able to afford that trip to the Bahamas, the Caribbean, or maybe Hawaii. Wish You Were Here!
