Let’s assume that you are starting from the Hotel Charlotte in Groveland just west of Yosemite on Highway 120 because that is where we started from to give you driving instructions. We did this as a two night trip and were in no rush, so there was quite a bit of lingering at interesting cross-roads. Day one was spent exploring southern Yosemite and some of the smaller stops between YNP and Fresno. The next day we did a power drive through the two parks.

We start the first stretch of road on Highway 120 into Yosemite but skip the Valley this time around and head directly to the south part of the park.near the entrance at Highway 41 (go through Yosemite Valley not around the park), this is a wee bit more than two hours from Groveland. Spend time exploring the Wawona Hotel and Mariposa Grove of giant redwoods. Make a stop at the Pioneer History Center & Covered Bridge where the docents are often in period costume and relate stories of earlier travelers. The Mariposa Grove of Redwood trees is just off the park exit where you can catch a narrated one hour tram tour. The Wawona is

a charming old hotel in a very pretty location. Perhaps have lunch here; they have a spacious dining room where most seats seem to be window seats, good menu selections and nice beverage pairings at a fair price.

Random fact: Having liposuction can increase your breast size. No kidding. According to a study in Dermatological Surgery, 43% of the participating women experienced bosom expansion after liposuction. Later, thirty percent of these chicks had to hit Nordstrom’s and start shopping for bras a whole cup size larger.

But if the chance of sudden-boob inflation doesn’t make liposuction anymore enticing to you, and you’re utterly convinced that exercising only makes cellulite spread faster, please at least consider that you may have been performing the wrong exercises to paralyze that Jello on your backside.
