Day One-Well, our big journey has begun. Thursday night we were up late, trying to get packed. By about 1:30 am I am not finished, so I set the alarm for 5:30 am. We needed to be out of the house by 8:30 to make our schedule work. Friday at 7:15, Tim says "oh my gosh!" which wakes me out of a very sound sleep... picture the exit scene from the movie Home Alone... "we overslept!"... mass chaos ensues. Long story short, we worked like mad, and acutally got out of town by 10:30... only 2 hours behind schedule. Tim needed to be at Bass Lake for a wedding rehersal at 4pm. We pulled into the parking lot at Bass Lake at 4:00 exactly... not bad.
We have never actually been to Bass Lake before... It is very beautiful! After the rehersal, we went to the rehersal dinner and checked into our hotel in nearby Oakhurst California... the gateway to Yosemite National park.
Day two- Saturday the 15th... we spent the day in the pool at the hotel. It was in the triple digits in Oakhurst today. The wedding was set to begin at 5:00 pm..lakeside. The heat was excruciating. The wedding guests were all fanning themselves with whatever device they could find. 15 minutes before the service, the power in the entire resort went out... no sound system.. it was still a very beautiful and meaningful wedding! The reception lasted until 11pm... we stayed almost until the bitter end.
Day 3 will involve sleeping in and then driving to Fresno to visit our friends, Jon, Dawn, Kelsey, Kirsten and Kordel. We are very excited... update to follow. J.
