This was the day for Kings Canyon National Park! Although we could have taken the same path as yesterday for the first portion, we chose a different route, which sadly still required the use of multiple vomit bags by the same child. It took us almost two hours to get to our first stop on …

We spent our eighth day as a moving day from Yosemite down to the edge of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. We knew the road out of our RV park would be challenging so we started with me driving the car to make the trip easier on the RV. I drove the first few …
