We made a couple of stops on our way to our campsite. Mono Mills, Mono Lake and Tuolumne Meadows visitor center. We drove all the way through Yosemite National Park with only one stop I believe to use the restroom, but that wasn't our destination for the day. Just to get into Yosemite we had like an hour and a half wait or longer. It was crazy. I made lunch for the family in the van. MacKay and other motorist were getting out of their vehicles taking pictures and having conversations. It was pretty entertaining actually. We made it to our campsite and got all set up. Let me tell you we were not prepared for how cold and hard the ground was going to be. We didn't originally plan on going anywhere besides Yosemite for this stop, but we did.
We had to do something to make camping there more enjoyable so we decided to go to Fresno to pick up some supplies (about two hours outside of Yosemite) and then we saw that Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park were not to much further (about two hours also from Fresno). So we made a last minute decision to go there. We now had a lot of the day already eaten up so we didn't see a lot of these two in one national parks. They are home to some of the worlds largest trees. Grant Tree is the second largest there. This picture doesn't do it justice as to how big it is. There is one tree there that we saw that had fallen over and you could walk through it. I was pretty much able to walk stand straight up through the entire thing. The boys had a blast running and playing inside it. We headed back to our campsite which was about half way between Fresno and Yosemite. Spent the night and packed everything up the next morning.
