Yosimite...

I love Camping!! Who doesn't?!?!

Wednesday morning, while having breakfast, Jeeej finished eating fast and said: I got to check something QUICK! -this is him, everything should be done quick!- ...Later on, he surprised me saying: Would you like to go camping?!
Me: are you kidding me?!?! of course!!!!

I always enjoy camping, my first camp was when I was in 7th grade, joining the scouts in Jordan to "Al-Karameh" camping place. Later on in high school, I had the chance to camp twice in "Wadi Rum", time spent there is one of my favourite times ever!! I remember myself dreaming of bringing my husband there with me one day to camp, to show him how great is the place there...It didn't happen yet, since we only got the chance to spend only one day over there...my parents wouldn't have allowed me to go there, spend a night with Jeeej since we were still engaged by then...

Anyways...This time...camping took place in Yosimite Park, over 3 hours away from home. we left home around 9:00 pm, and arrived Yosimite Park after midnight!
A very big park where you can't tour it in only one day...the ticket we bought there is active for 7 days!! We weren't that lucky! we only spent one night over there. We parked the car in a special place and slept in it and that was soooo comfortable... BUT would rather think 10000 time before doing it again ;p

The scenery was breathtaking!! We stopped a lot while driving through the park, Just to make sure we are missing none of it...The mountains, the waterfalls, the wide green and yellow fields! we did a lot of hiking...AMAZING!!!

I just can't stop myself from loving CA more and more every day!! So many places to go to, and many exciting things to do:)

On our way back home, I drove for more than 2 hours non stop, that was a first for me:) The area around me was so nice! I just wished I could drive a little bit slower to enjoy the landscape, but it was a high way :(

While there, Thursday, early morning, I went to the bathroom to get ready for a long day...I kept the door widely open, just in case...Suddenly a black dog was trying to get inside, I saw him in the mirror and screamed as I haven't done in a very very looong time!!! The scary dog got scared and ran away...and I saw Jeeej jumping to the door, just to make sure I'm still alive!! It was one of my life's scariest moments ever...I'm glad my prince was close to me or else my crying wouldn't have stopped!!!

Enjoying wild life here, the time in parks, the lakes, rivers, everything, brings joy to my life...but it makes me sad at the
same time, reading about what "Dibbeen" in Jordan is going through...It's really funny, yet so sad!!
