Where did that month go

Argh, its been a bit hectic this month, with a long awaited visit from my parents.  It was great to see them and they were a great help.  So of course, we had a few trips squeezed in and of course a couple of birthdays too!  One place we took them too was Yosemite.  Now this place had been really built up but I think that because we were traveling with my parents and small children I didnt fancy our first visit to involve staying in a cabin in Curry village.  And I am so glad we made that decision - the only weekend we could go was rainy and miserable, we even saw a bit of snow.  Curry Village was more of a settlement than a village, and when we arrived there wasnt much to see and an extremely limited choice of places to eat (pizza or nothing).  I think the point is you are not supposed to hang around the village but get out and enjoy the amazing views and go on hikes and what have you.  But we didnt.  It was a short but sweet visit that involved a lot of driving and stopping to look at the views, some of which were obscured due to the bad weather.  So I think, all in all more of a box ticking exercise, or a recce for our next visit!  Which will need to be in better weather :-)
