Day 1 Yosemite Travel Log!

Day 1
The first day I had to wake up before the sun was even up for our long road trip.  I was already dressed and packed for our long trip and my family and I were on our way to Yosemite, CA by 6:30. I sat in the back seat, ready for our 6 hour road trip, surrounded by plenty of blankets and my dog, Mochi, a little 4 pound Maltese. He snored next to me while I tried to take a nap. After an hour or so of driving we arrived at our first stop at Urth Cafe,  which we had found on Yelp, for breakfast. I ordered some granola and a chai latte, both which were pretty average but made me full.






Back in the car we went after breakfast, continuing the long drive for a couple more hours until Bakersfield, where we found Sweet Surrender (also courtesy of Yelp). It was a really cute little sweet shop where we got some pastries and treats. They also sold accessories and clothing, which was actually pretty cute.









After that, we were in the car for a few more hours and finally arrived at Yosemite around 3. We stayed at a charming little hotel with a marvelous view of the rushing river and only 5 minutes away from all the main attractions of Yosemite. Since we got there a bit earlier than expected we decided to go on a small easy hike before sunset. It was mostly uphill since it was a trail to the waterfall and we only did it for an hour before heading back.





Exhausted from the long road trip and the hike, I had dinner, and relaxed in a bubble bath. I fell asleep pretty quickly that night; getting energized for the next day!
