International moves, especially those done without the backing of a company, are stressful. Surprise, surprise. It always seems like I'm taking two steps forward and one step back. It's still progress, but sometimes it's frustrating and disheartening. Does that mean this isn't the way things should be? No. Because things are the way they are, and they couldn't be any other way.
We've had to change our plans completely. We won't be going to Southern California at all before we leave (at least not for more than a night), and after looking at airfare, we might just fly out of San Francisco. I'm very ok with this for a number of reasons. Sure, it'll make certain things more of a hassle, and it will involve lots of driving back and forth, but everything will work out in the end.
But enough about moving right now. Because there will be post after post about it. We needed a break from it, so we took it. One of M's coworkers offered us her seasonal pass to Yosemite. It's only $20 to get in, but it was still a very sweet gesture. We've been wanting to take the kids during the high waterfall season, and I'm so glad we did. They were NOT disappointed.
We didn't end up driving up to Mariposa Grove, but we can always go back in a few weeks. The important thing was to make sure the kids saw the falls before they dried up. It was a really nice day weather-wise, and I'm glad we went.
