Join us for a memorable family lunch at the Blackbird, nestled within the iconic Nielson Tower, where exquisite cuisine meets stunning panoramas.

Family was informed by their friends to try  Blackbird at the Nielson Tower  and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve.  Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff. One hour later, people started coming into the restaurant and took their seats at the reservation table, browsing the menu to decide what to order. Our family members were running late, but we didn’t get bored thanks to the friendly staff. More customers kept arriving and placing their orders, and we couldn’t help but glance at their dishes, curious about what ...

Yosemite National Park Year 2008 in the US


Sometimes when we are cleaning we come across really old pictures that you didn't know it had exist until you take a look of your past come to find out memories hidden in a cd- r where we use to transfer our old pictures for safe keeping.

As I was watching the videos during that time I had a camcorder the kind that are really heavy and I realize I was always taking pictures and video when I am with my sister and her family.

Pictures never lie and you get to capture memories that have been years ago and still being able to remember bits and pieces.

What I can remember is we had stayed in PG&E private cabin where my dad had used to work for that company. You get to reserve a cabin up in the woods for one night.

During that time my boys and I had arrived from the Philippines we had decided to spend time with my family back home.

It was my boys first time going to Yosemite and my youngest was so curious that he thought it was cool to dip his shoe in the water during that time.

After that incident I’ve always brought an extra pair of shoes because you will never know what will happen to your shoes during your trip.

I had remembered I had to find a way to dry up his shoes on a place that was so cold. I felt sorry for my son because he got teased from everyone and it didn’t matter to us because we felt it was something we felt was so funny to share.

But, this is something we learn by based on own experiences as they becomes young and now old to realize what is right and wrong.

During the year 2008 we decided to go close to the waterfall enough to take a picture and get wet from it.






We had also ridden a boat in the lake and I had remembered we even got stranded during that time because the boat got stuck. Someone had rescued us and we’re saved by a two men and he pulled our boat as we’re riding inside. The kids pretended that they are driving the boat on their own.


 





Hopefully one day we can visit Yosemite and experience the beauty of it in person again.
