I saw that you and FI are debating Yosemite or not and I wanted tot ell you that I've been. It's so boring. For real. I'm mean it's gorgeous, but really the only people there are old tourists. If you decide to go somewhere else, I would suggest Yellowstone. I don't know how far it is from Yosemite, but it has all the natural beauty of Yosemite plus some. And animals. And gysers. It was just so neat.
