You're up to date now!!

When you read this post, you're currently up to date with the Strommer Family happenings on the west coast!! We were lucky enough to snag the last site for months available in Yosemite national park campgrounds and we jumped at the chance to see these beautiful and famous sites before Chris leaves in Sept. for a month long class trip to Korea, and after would be too cold to venture there to camp!! When you think of Ansel Adams, you think of black and white photos, and many were taken here in this park...so many in fact that there was a museum dedicated to his pictures there.  We saw one that was selling for $40,000 (because it was an original) but I say that my husband can take anything he can take for a WHOLE lot less....for example the number 5 picture here of the iconic Half Dome (mountain that The North Face company is named for) was taken by Chris and as far as I can tell, the exact same picture taken by A.A. was $30,000!! Ridiculous, I say!!

I am glad you got to go - the pictures (and Yosemite) are gorgeous.
