As much as I love avoiding crowds and finding unique things to do on my trips, I still can't resist the popular touristy stuff. 🤷‍♀️

Some things are popular for a reason, and this is one of them. Isn't it beautiful? 🌊

Also patience. Lots of patience. 🤣

This is me standing on the pile of sand where Mirror Lake was supposed to be. 🤷‍♀️

I hiked for 30 minutes in the summer heat to see this lake because the pictures online were so beautiful.

It's not always easy, but I'm over here trying my best.

What about you? What are you proud of yourself for? Have you done something that surprised yourself? Tell me about it.

What's cool is that this big rock is in Yosemite National Park, which I got to visit this past weekend. ⁣

For those looking to explore the park for the first time, check out my Yosemite Road Trip post (link in bio) for my favorite spots to see in the park.
