Misadventures of the newlyweds

The honeymoon's over. But after driving 12 hours yesterday, I'm pretty glad to be back. Here are some highlights from our trip:
We accidentally hiked to the top of this dome. If you're wondering how someone could ACCIDENTALLY hike to the top of that, well, it just takes very special people. The best part is that it's really steep and we lost the trail on the way down, and I'm scared of heights.

I was pretty mad here because we also got lost while trying to find this tree. We hiked for three hours before we got to it, and it turned out to be pretty lame. The other giant sequoias were really pretty, though.

Here I'm holding up what I thought was the cone of a giant sequoia. It turns out that sequoia cones are actually much smaller.

This picture is cool:

And Brandon couldn't help but stop and admire the geology.

only you guys would get lost so many times. And it looks like Brandon is going to the bathroom. It looks like y'all had lots of fun!

So, the hill was REALLY steep, and you were going up it, and you still didn't realize you were climbing to the top? I guess I'll chalk it up to star-gazed honeymooners.

it is what they call a "sheep" it is steep on one side and very gradual on the other. we thought we would just walk around the granite section and avoid the meandering trail. It turns out it was much larger than expected and our shortcut actually ended up near the top of it.
