Keough hot spring and Yosemite

We took an impromtu trip to Bishop to try out van camping. We stopped by Marty's first to pick up some of Marek's climbing shoes. The kids got to hang around the chickens, dogs, and horses. Their flowers were blooming!!! After we headed over to Keough's hotspring. It was great to dip into the pool.
We then decided to go to Yosemite the next day since we just saw that Tioga pass was open. So with that in mind we car camped overnight at the rest stop just before Mammoth.
This is the first time sleeping in the Van!!
It's wasn't too bad except for my poor back...next time I have to bring more padding, just using the loung chair paddings was not enough. Everybody else seem to sleep fine.
Sunday Morning we headed to Yosemite quite early..7:00AM.
Tuolumne Meadows still had lots of snow and quite chilly. The river was sure surging.
We took the shuttle around Yosemite village, hiked up to Lower Yosemite falls, and then hiked up Vernal falls.
I was impress with the kids. They both hiked up and downVernals (3 miles RT) by themselves. Of course there was alot of whining/tantrum from Peter, but he did make it :>)
