Mom and Dad's 50th Brithday!

Last night we celebrated my mom and dad's 50th birthday's at Maggiano's, Little Italy , which was an amazing restaurant in San Jose. We had about 21 people there to celebrate and the food just kept on coming! We had a wonderful 5 course meal. Happy 50th to my both my mom and dad!



This was the roasted chicken that we had as part of the dinner.



This was my favorite of the night; the salmon! It was some of the best I've ever had.



And of course dessert. This was called a profierale which was a homemade pastry filled with vanilla bean ice cream and topped with hot fudge. That was just a small sample of the food that we were served.



Here is a picture of my parents at dinner...



I attempted to get a picture of the entire table...but I couldn't get everyone in the shot.

Yosemite

Last month we got a chance to go to Yosemite for a few days and it was absolutely amazing! The waterfalls were the fullest we had ever seen them. The first day we got there it was sunny, and the second day it rained in the afternoon and evening. We still got a good hike in though.



This is a picture of "bridelveil falls" right as you come into the park. It was beautiful...



This is half dome with snow on top! There was still a lot of snow at the higher elevations in April.



This is a great picture of upper and lower yosemite falls. Upper Yosemite Falls is over 2,000 feet tall, which is the largest in North America.



Here is Lauren and I after a short hike in front of lower yosemite falls.



Here is another good picture I took of upper yosemite falls. Overall it was a very fun trip and we can't wait to go back and see more waterfalls!
