snow and ice






Talk about adrenalin pumping! First it started with Chris’ driving in the city, and then the snow/ice covered roads going into the Yosemite area. After being held up on RT 41 for about 20 minutes the CHP decided to allow a chain of about 7 cars to follow each other up to their destinations. Thank goodness for new snow tires and 4-wheel drive! It was slow and slippery moving through the snow/ice, but we made it to the Apple Tree Inn. As you can tell they received a lot of snow! The room was luxurious after staying in hostels for the last two nights, but unable to get the Super Bowl on our TV we trekked it out to the next lodge up to see the Giants bet the Patriots…YEAH! Dad you owe me a $ 80)
So, keeping in mind the workout our tushes are getting from diving, Chris and I decided to try out racquetball for the first time…not knowing the rules we decided to make up our own…let’s see, winner is the one who can hit the ball off the most walls, or winner is who can hit the ceiling the most and my favorite, the winner is the one who can play looking more retarded then the other…needless to say I think it was a tie. Tomorrow is another day…hopefully we will be able to make it into the actual park as the south entrance was closed today.
