I’m leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning at 6!  Early I know, but we want to beat the Labor Day crowds and also, Lynda’s flight arrives in Vegas at 10:15 and we’re hoping we can get there shortly after.  Fun girls weekend ahead!  I just had my nails done today and I got them HOT PINK to match the dress I bought yesterday (which I’m sure will be in plenty of my pics from Vegas! :)

New Hot Pink Nails for Vegas!

I’m treating this weekend as my final celebration of summer before grad school begins and all the fun stops (because that’s what it is…)  See you all Monday night and have a good Labor Day weekend!

Finding Nemo exhibit at the Aquarium of the Pacific. So cute and colorful! I love the black nemos :)

Well, two days ago Alex and I returned from our AMAZING camping trip in June Lake and Yosemite!  I’ve been so busy the past few days, however, that I only just this evening got around to sorting through our pictures, resizing them, and uploading them to Flickr.  But I’m done now!  You can check out the new set in my travel gallery here.  There were probably hundreds of amazing photos that we took between the two of us, so it was REALLY hard to pick the “gems” to put in that album.

It really was an amazing trip though, one I will never forget.  Yosemite is so awesome that I can’t wait to go back, hopefully next spring.  I’ve figured out that I’m the most content and relaxed when I’m out in nature, and I just LOVE all the little creatures we ran into on our hiking trails.  We saw little squirrel/chipmunk things, a bigger furry animal (maybe a possum or a badger or something), a deer family (2 big ones and a baby), and even a super tiny snake!  It was so much fun, especially the deer.  We actually saw deer twice on our trip, the first night near June Lake and also on our 7 hour hike on the Glen Aulin Trail to Tuolumne Falls.  They’re SO sweet and beautiful!  They didn’t mind our presence even though we kept following them deeper into the woods to take pictures of them.  Awesome.  Yosemite (and actually the entire Eastern Sierras) is so freakin awesome.

My next trip (in a week) is to Las Vegas.  I don’t think these two trips could be any more different LOL.

It’s our last day in Yosemite! Boooo. We did a semi hike earlier today along Yosemite Creek (4.4 miles round trip). This pic was taken at a look-out point on our way driving back along Tioga Pass. 1 more night of camping in June then we hit the road tomorrow for home.

Taken at the end of our 3.5 hour hike yesterday on the Glen Aulin Trail. After we reached the Falls we still had to hike back for a total of almost 7 hours and 8 miles! My body really feels it this morning and the strong winds aren’t helping!
