Day 13: Yosemite
Hi America! We are the Sneezys and we are your new bloggers!
Our names are: Elizabeth Foy, Nick Mitchell, Julia DiBella , Meredith
Witherell, Lucas Horton, Caroline Shoemaker, Ashley Rak, Hannah Locklear, Grant
Harris, Rustyn Orbison, Madison Ketchie, Max Bradley, Sarah Roth and Briana
Waters.
After waking up at 6:00 this morning, we drove to Yosemite
National Park. Our awesome cooks made us a delicious breakfast of cream cheese
and peanut butter bagels that we ate on the road. Our long bus ride allowed for
us to catch up on some much needed sleep as we headed to our destination. For
our insanely yummy lunch, we had chicken and cheese sandwiches with off-brand
Doritos (we’re on a pretty tight budget…). We travelled through a very long
tunnel in which we had a little contest to see who could say “Oreo” the longest
without taking a breath. Traffic stopped in the middle of it, so there were no
winners. Luckily, no one passed out trying to win.
Once we emerged on the other side, the views were absolutely
unreal! Yosemite was super crowded so we didn’t have the chance to walk around
like we wanted. However, we made the best of it and had jam sessions and photo
shoots! We ended up taking pictures through the bus and van windows and they
actually turned out pretty good. Before we stopped for the night, we got out to
take a group picture, but before Heather could snap it, we had a huge snowball
fight on top of 10 foot snow drifts!!! Playing in it was “SNOW” much fun, but
it was quite chilly. We were all soaking wet after the fight but it was totally
worth it.
Following our epic snowball fight, we loaded back on the bus
and headed to our campground. Our usual campground in Yosemite was completely
flooded because of all of the melting snow, so we’re staying a little ways down
the road in a little town called Lee Vining. (Fun fact: the population of this
town is only in the 300’s!) Tonight for dinner, our cooks whipped us up a tasty
meal of pasta with Alfredo sauce and bread. For dessert we had some mini
cupcakes from our favorite place… WALMART!

Tonight, our showers
were limited (lots of people are going to have to make friends!) We’re
finally starting to bed down for a short and starry night before hitting the
pavement bright and early en route to Salt Lake City!
Until tomorrow,
The Sneezys
