We began the day by oversleeping an hour and a half. I was so tired the alarm went off for that length of time before waking me up!  So we had to kind of re-arrange our schedule for the day.

We began by touring the giant sequoias at the Mariposa Grove. Luckily we got there right before the parking lot filled up. The trees themselves are amazing. After leaving there we took on fuel for the car and ourselves and headed up to Yosemite Valley for a noon tour. Jackson kind of gasped as we exited the long tunnel and he got his first view of Yosemite Valley.
