A couple years ago, 
I traveled with my travel buddy (the fiance) to Yosemite National Park.
I had heard about this place before.
You know, heard how amazing and beautiful it was.
But, i’ll be completely honest, I was not prepared for Yosemite.
 
Yosemite is an absolute treasure.
And one of the most, if not the most, beautiful places I have ever been lucky enough to view with my two eyes.
It is a place where, even for just a moment, time stops.
It’s just you- surrounded by completely raw, natural, and spectacular beauty.
A place man played no part in shaping.
 
It is one of my favorite places in this world.
 
If you are ever planning a visit to California, 
this should be a the top of your list.
 
You will not be disappointed.
I promise.
 
To enjoy its full beauty, 
plan some hikes,
get up high, 
and see the park from different angles.
 
Just get lost.
