Mom and Dad stand at the Loving Couple, two trees growing together.
-
Mom and Dad stand at the tree where the first wagon rode through!
-
A gorgeous, graceful, looming Sequoia stands tall.
-
Dad pauses by the river in the Wawona area.

Dad relaxes in the late summer sun by the pool at the Tenaya Lodge, just outside Yosemite Park.
-
One day we went on a hike - famously led astray by Marianne's lack of direction! - but we found some beautiful scenery. Here's Mom and Dad by a lake.
-
A postcard view of the same lake.
-
A tree seemingly split in two - I named it the V tree, V for victory, as we had a great hike despite being completely lost!
-
And the mountain and the lake stood there ...
-
Where we stopped for lunch - Dad can be seen far away, if you squint real hard and believe!
-
At our lunchbreak - again, if you squint hard, you'll see Mom and Dad on the far side.
-
On the way back, Dad helpfully points out the direction we should have taken.
-
A radiant hiker is spotted on the trail!
-
Dad shows what an ice chest looks like in the Ahwanee. He knows well, as he searched many floors of the main Ahwanee lodge before he found a chest that held any ice.
-
Mom and Dake (and Marianne) partake of the afternoon tea and cookies in the Ahwanee Lodge. We had to produce proof of Ahwanee lodging before they'd give us tea!
-
The main building of the Ahwanee Lodge.
-
A very bad and dark shot of part of the cottage where we stayed, at the Ahwanee.
-
Mom and Dad at the famous (but by September, dried up) Bridalveil Falls.
-
Bridalveil Falls, what there is of it!
-
Dad climbs up the rocky approach to Bridalveil Falls.
-
Dad stands up and poses, smiling, having made it a good way up the falls.
-
Annikin doesn't like the commercials ...
-
... but she is enraptured by the news!
-
Dad snoozes on the couch, with Mom smiling.
