Yosemite National Park II

Day4

Morning we drove back to Yosemite Valley to see the El Capitan and found the picturesque place where the trademark picture was always taken. Nice rest near the green and the seats near the vacation home was comfortable. The unexpected gesture took place and we were shocked. Oh well, nothing very special happened though. 

We then head toward Sacramento to visit our friend who moved there and has since given birth to a lovely baby boy, Iron.

Prior to that, we had a scheme. Trying to get a cake or something like that for the bday boy. Oh boy, that was tough. Have to hide and buy something secretly. Well, in the name of buying stuff for Lan, we managed to get buy. Lan and family prepared a sumptuous dinner for us. The parents are chatty. Iron is a strong healthy baby. He smiles a lot. Hehe. We had a nice fellowship that evening. We were all tired.

 

Oh well, the plan was that we bathe, then rest. And when it is 12midnight, we will knock on their door. Apparently both Charles and YY fell asleep very soon. I think  that is a big difference between man and woman. Woman always take forever to wash up while guys are not. They just chop chop then koon. Haha. Anyway, it was about 11pm and we have decided to knock on their door. YY was shocked. Haha. that was a good surprise ya.

Day5
The breakfast was a tensed one. We were on the topic whereby should they go and register for their marriage due to some personal reasons. Oh well, both YY and myself can’t really help with that. It is a bit odd for us to sit around. but since we travel together, we got to know what is the plan for the day ahead. Right? in the end, no marriage registration. But the plan remained. We drove to Sacramento downtown, cityhall to sightsee a bit.

. Lan and family had graciously prepared braised duck and bun for our snack. Thus we took the opportunity to picnic by the river. Haha. that was truly a surprise. Braised duck! Oh man. 

 

The drive back was great too. Finally they let me drive for like 1.5 hr – 2hr then they took over. I feel sometimes it is more tiring for them to supervise me. Haha.  almost 9hrs on the road that day, 500+miles. Amazing uh. We had ramen at Irvine before heading back to SD.

It was a good trip, with kind friends. They were very nice to me, put up with my nonsense. Haha. it seems like it is a double date but don’t know fortunately or unfortunately, there was only 1 couple there. Of course this trip has caused some speculations. Oh well, nothing has happened since then. It was a blessing from God that we can go out as friends who are able to know how to take care of one another. Everyone has their own moment, it is how you present yourself and how you give and take while trying to fit into the team. Overall, thank God for the friendship. It was fun hanging out together, for sure.

 

And Yosemite especially the Tioga pass excursion and Vernal Fall hike had allowed me to witness His goodness and love to us again! Thank you Lord.
