more pics

the waterfalls were ridiculously amazing.  this one is nevada falls, if i am remembering correctly.

scout got a bloody nose, and being the hardcore male nurse that i am...i sprang into action.  it was kind of sweet...she let me pinch her nose pretty hard to stop the bleeding.

more yosemite pics

 

yosemite

had a great time in yosemite with bethany's folks, her sisters and fa

mily, and the browns as well.  i especially had fun with my niece scout, who is my kind of girl....constan

tly wanting to run "faster, faster!" and jump off of rocks with no regard for what lies below.  we did half dome among other beautiful hikes, and spent a lot of time hanging out around the campfire. 

these two are on the road into the yosemite valley, with half dome in between us. very serious business.  i actually got out of the car and ran into the valley from this point....very beautiful.  this place is totally amazing.


this is us on top of half dome.  

me, sporting my socks/sandals 1-2 punch fashion innovation. i have no idea where the other 13 people on the camping trip were at the time of this picture.

scout, bethany and "aunt daniel" as she calls me, next to some of the giant sequoias.

got a new home.

we are now moved into a new apartment on the other side of the mission district, the same neighborhood we have been living in.  it is awesome!  sunny, underground parking, heated pool...these are hard to come by in this city. anyway, i'll try to post some pictures when bethany and i can finally get organized. it is a liiiiitle bit ridiculous right now...but we are having fun going through our stuff and getting rid of things we don't need.  i am feeling nourished by the sunshine and cool breeze, the company of my wife (of 4 years this thursday!) and the aftermath of a 7 a.m. swim in the 53 degree water of the aquatic park with my dear friend adam this morning.

also exciting....i am going to start brewing my own kombucha this week.  i will DEFINITELY post pictures of that.
