Yosemite

Since I haven't done anything interesting in the past few weeks, I thought, it would be neat to post pictures of the good times. Last Summer, Traci, Ronnie, and I had the opportunity to make a trip down to Southern California and visit Janelle. We began by spending 3 days in Yosemite and 3 days down in the streets of this very populated state. Like always, Janelle and I were always behind the camera capturing all these memorable times. While at Yosemite, we hiked Half Dome, visited Ansel Adams Gallery and a few other museums. We then visited my hometown (Venice Beach), Laguna Beach and the Long Beach Aquarium. It was a very busy trip that left us exhausted at the end but it sure was fun.

Below are few pictures of the many pictures that we took, These are a combination of the pictures that the four of us took. I will attempt to explain a little bit about each one.
