We woke up sore and stiff after the previous day’s
adventure. We planned to rest and relax
for the day. We parked in the
Housekeeping Camp lot, planning to make breakfast (skillet heated
left-over pizza!) before showering and doing laundry. We were super excited to find in the
camp store we were able to fill our coffee cups for $1!!!
After, lazily enjoying the shade of the pine
trees near our car, we finally made the move to shower. The shower felt amazing! Other than river baths, we hadn’t taken a
real shower since the morning we left Wisconsin. We also were excited to find that laundry was
even cheaper to do than at home… $1.25/per washer and $0.25/10mins in the
drier!
After clean-up was complete, we
commenced relaxing under the pines, and soon saw Gretchen and Jax making their
way to the showers. After they showered,
we all headed over to Yosemite Village for well-deserved ice creams. We parked ourselves at table inside the
building for a few hours to continue relaxing and charging our electronic
devices.
After the four of us parted ways
for the evening, we stopped in the Village store for some fruit and beverages
before walking along a trail back to our car.
We stopped on a bridge with great views of Yosemite Falls and the
surrounding Valley to take some pictures, and enjoy our store purchases.
