This year for Christmas, as we were without any family for the first time, we decided to spend our couple days off to take a trip to Yosemite National Park. It is only 3 hours or so away from us. It made sense to do this, too, as it would probably be our last trip together pre-baby.
We stayed at The Wawona Hotel, a historic lodge, within the park. Historic meant no heat in the bathrooms that we had to walk down the below freezing outside hall to get to. It was like we were half camping. I never wanted to get out of the hot shower for fear of catching pnuemonia. And having to get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom was literally painful.
The park was beautiful, though. We thoroughly enjoyed driving and hiking around looking at the mountain peaks and waterfalls. It was especially Christmasy to be in the snow. Nothing else about our Christmas holiday seemed very festive or normal(none of our usual traditions), so at least we had beautiful snow.
Too, we saw lots of deer. Some even had antlers. Maybe they were reindeer.
