In California (or anywhere I have been) it would be tough to find scenery that is much better than Yosemite National Park.  Connie, myself and Blaine spent three days in the park this week.  Pictured here is Blaine and I on top of Half Dome.  If you have been to Yosemite you will surely know this unmistakable peak.  The hike was 17 miles long, 9 hours with an hour at the top to enjoy the view.  In retrospect an unforgettable experience that I am so glad we had a chance to do, although if you were to ask me what I thought during the last 3 miles walking down I may have had less nice things to say.
