Memories of Yosemite

Share via

Your article on Yosemite (“Yosemite, the Picture of Peace,” Dec. 23) was wonderful; the pictures added to my memory of a place I call heaven. We just returned from a Bracebridge Dinner, and I highly recommend the experience. When we arrived the park was blanketed with snow, a real picture postcard.

We stayed at the Ahwahnee, which made the event all the better since we didn’t have to take a shuttle bus to the hotel.

In addition, we enjoyed meeting the other guests who gathered around the grand piano for caroling.

Your article on Yosemite brought back fabulous memories. My family celebrated the millennium at Yosemite, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

My son-in-law had made reservations for the first seating of the New Year’s dinner at the Ahwahnee. Nothing prepared me for the stunning interior. A string quartet was playing softly. The food and wine were superb.

Later we sat in the lobby, drinking wine and watching the “swells” arrive for the last seating, the big event with dancing. The men were in tuxedos, the women in long, black strappy dresses.
