I liked Yosemite when I was there almost 7 years ago. They do have hotels available in the park...

I've always thought about pulling into one of the vehicle charging spots at the mall, open my hood, toss the end of the charging cable in there, then closing it, and go shopping. Make it look like I'm charging up my non hybrid car.
Or there's this option...
there's a person I was in Boy Scouts with years ago, he's been making Lego replics of some of the buildings in the small town we grew up in. Not kits, just going off pictures of what they look like. Here's one example
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on I'll waste my life
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on I'll waste my life on you
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh...
My wife has 8 siblings. Their routine I like to call "mass confusion". They won't start planning until 2 days before a holiday, or any other occasion, gathering.
Sounds like my grandparents' house. I think it was around 30 if everyone could make it, and they usually did, for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Our running joke was for Christmas they should give every family a set time to arrive. You would come in through the garage to the kitchen and fix your plate. Then into the dining room to eat. After eating, into the living room to get your present, then out the front door. If you wanted to hang out and visit, well do that outside or in the unheated garage.
