Our route, roughly.
We had intended to do another route, but when we arrived, we found it was still too snow-covered. The North Rim was our other choice, and it turned out to be wonderful. Especially with (or maybe despite of) the advice we got - from a couple of very drunk Texans at the backpackers' campsite the night before we started - about an unmarked trail through (or rather, straight up) some rock slides...
Scrabble, travelers' edition - to pass the time at the backpackers' campsite the night before getting started...
Gabe: Really?? "GRIEF??" Come on, Meg, we're on vacation now...
Off we go.
The rock slides...
View of Yosemite Valley...
Ribbon Meadow, on our second day out. We were trekking over snow moments later...
Taking a rest on a cliff...
Campsite, day two.
View from North Dome, day 3.
Half Dome!
View of Half Dome, at our campsite on the final night.
Sunrise at the Arch at Indian Rock, day 4.
I believe Gabe is making oatmeal up there.

I don't know if I'm more excited over the photos or the fact that you are posting in your blog again!
PS. Alyssa and I made your tofu General Tso's just the other day! yummm
Wow, looks amazing. I've never been so early in the summer, the falls look much bigger when there's still a decent snow pack.
But come on! GRIEF should have been played with the G on the star so the F would be on the double letter.
steve, you're right! i can't believe i didn't double the grief when i had a chance - how unlike me; i must be out of practice. ;)
the trip was so great - one of the best vacations i've ever had! we were very lucky, actually, with the timing of it-- we didn't really expect the season to be this late, but in the end, that meant that we had lovely waterfalls and wildflowers and we also had perfect weather.
