Yosemite National Park- Day 7- July 18th




















Today is our last day and we decided to go back to the valley. We drove down there and got on our bikes and took the amazing bike path again. We stopped at Yosemite Village in their visitor's center. We watched a movie about Yosemite and looked around at their exhibits. After that it was back on our bikes and we rode to Curry Village where they rent rafts to float down the river. So off we went on our raft! It was a great float down the beautiful Merced River with amazing views of the valley and all of the waterfalls. It took us a little over 1 hour to get to the stopping point. Then we had our picnic lunch and then back on our bikes to Yosemite lodge. There we had some ice cream and then drove back to our campsite. On our drive home I saw a couple of coyotes. That was the first time seeing that animal on this trip. We went right to the river at our camp and swam around. Today was the warmest day yet. Probably hit 80 degrees. After that it was dinner. We had some new neighbors move in with 2 boys Noah's age and a teenage girl so Noah played baseball for hours with the boys. The teenage girl made some bracelets with my girls too. They were a really nice family…they love National Parks too…they were doing 16 parks in 35 days and basically living out of their van. Very ambitious! But we had a lot to talk about with all of the different parks we have been to and comparing notes. We leave early tomorrow for Tahoe but we will miss Yosemite!
