Through the Wawona Tree: 1936

Uncle John Jorjorian with nephew Haig, niece Shake, Haig's first wife ("Blondie"), and grand-nephews/niece Eddie, Al, Leon, and Violet Eliseian.
The Jorjorian-Eliseian family of Oakland, California began coming to Yosemite every summer in 1926. They would stay two months at a stretch. The girl, Violet, celebrated her first birthday in Yosemite, in July 1934. In July 2014, she celebrated her 81st birthday there. Unfortunately, 2015 was the first year in decades that she missed her summer birthday trip. She hopes to return in 2016. View full size.

His attitude resembles mine in many of my pictures as a young teen. This shot reminds me of my family road trips 25 or 30 years later. Thanks for posting this!
