Our First Time in Yosemite With Kids… Was It Worth It? 😅 | Buhay Amerika | Filipino Life in USA

Spring Break 2026 finally happened for our family! After living in California for decades, this was our first time visiting Yosemite National Park! 🌲🏔️ We’ve always heard from friends and coworkers how beautiful Yosemite is, so we decided to see it for ourselves… but the big question is, worth it ba? 😅 We stayed 3 nights at Rush Creek Lodge, and honestly, it’s already a destination on its own! From swimming, game room, playground, and of course s’mores at night (kids favorite!), sulit na sulit for family bonding. On Day 2, we explored Yosemite Valley and joined a guided tour bus which is perfect for first-timers para makita agad yung must-see spots without the stress. We also tried hiking (with kids 😅), which wasn’t always easy but still very memorable. Plus, we had a surprise moment… 👉 We met some subscribers on the trail! 🙌 Super unexpected and nakakatuwa! Thank you for saying hi! At the end of the day, this trip reminded us: It’s not always about seeing everything… it’s about making memories, especially with the kids ❤️ Hope you enjoy this vlog and appreciate the beauty of nature with us! 00:00 Intro / What to Expect 01:23 Morning Prep + Travel Day Begins 02:22 On the Road to Yosemite 05:28 Arrival at Rush Creek Lodge + Check-in Tour 08:45 Exploring the Lodge (Amenities & Activities) 10:58 S’mores Night 🔥 12:09 Heated Pool Time 🏊 13:56 Day 2 Morning Routine 14:42 Drive to Yosemite Valley 17:30 First Views of Yosemite 👀 21:36 Guided Bus Tour Experience 24:22 Lunch at Base Camp Eatery 🍔 24:55 Easy Hike to Lower Yosemite Falls 🌊 32:30 Heading Back to Lodge 34:25 Night Routine: Pool, S’mores & Game Room 🎮 36:45 Final Thoughts + Goodnight Thanks for watching and for always supporting our channel!
