Today we arrived at my parent’s house in the early afternoon after a major shopping stop at REI to pick up a tent and packs and sleeping bags for the kids in anticipation of some serious backpacking in our near future.  We will spend Shabbos here and head North on Sunday to our first long-term destination, Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park.
