| Traegon checking out the happenings of the front seat |
Ben had some PTO he needed to use, so, for his birthday we decided to cash it in! September 24th through October 2nd we took a trip to California. We made many stops along the way and had many a great adventures! Other than our Europe trip when we were first married, this was the longest trip we've taken as a family. Traegon was super awesome, even when he didn't get as many naps as he's used to, and we just had a blast all around. We did so much in the 8 days, it was hard to pinpoint any favorites. We'll just have to go through it place by place.
First off: Bishop, CA where we stopped feed the ducks and get some yummy food.
We stopped at
Bishop City Park and let Traegon feed the ducks. Well, it mostly consisted of us throwing bread and hoping the ducks would get it before we had to stop Traegon from getting it.

We found a DELICIOUS place to eat at called,
Raymond's Deli. Ben got the "Turkster" and I got the "Classy Cow" And I must say, the Turkster was SO SO tasty and I was a little jealous. So, if you're in Bishop, feed the ducks and stop in for a yummy sandwich at Raymond's! Also...be sure to leave your card under the glass on the tables and you might find Ben's! Ha!

Sunset leaving Bishop.
It was awesome to see the sun in front of the mountain. |
All that driving we did to get to Yosemite to camp, and around 8:30 pm we ended up JUST OUTSIDE OF IT! The campground we had originally wanted to go to was still an hour away, it was dark, the campground we had just checked out was full, and Traegon was done with being in the car. Fortunately, there was one down the road that we found and we got one of the last few sites! I was particularly nervous about a bear attacking us in the night. We had educated ourselves by watching a National Geographic on Yosemite a few weeks before our trip, and it just freaked me out more. Haha! So when I saw the bear box, I put EVERYTHING in it, even Traegon's car seat...you know...just in case that bear wanted to eat the tiny crumbs that had gathered in the bottom of his seat. As you can predict, no bear came - thanks to me, of course! - and we had a fairly good nights sleep. In the morning, we took a stroll to the river. Traegon was pretty excited about the water and wasn't willing to let us hold him - he wanted IN! It was freezing though, so he had to make due with putting only his hands in it. Next post will be our day IN Yosemite! :D
