* Leaving Las Vegas - not quite. Do you remember what you did when you turned 20? It probably wasn't spending the entire day replacing a radiator on a pickup in the O'Reilly auto parts parking lot. Happy Birthday, Noah. (sorry)
* Death Valley is DRY. And dead. And salty. But has some really beautiful and colorful rock formations and really cool trails and canyons to walk/run. Would not ever want to be here in June/July/August. Can you say 120 degrees AVERAGE??! Crazy. That's shoe melting insanity.
*Joshua Trees are named because some early Morman traveler thought they looked liked Joshua holding up his hands to heaven. The National Park has some awesome boulders that you can really get lost in - or should I say - loose your boys in. (was a bit scared there for an hour)
* Staying in a campground with no electricity is dangerous if you run out of battery power and can't put the slide in on your RV. Thank God for a neighbor with a noisy generator. And a really long extension cord.
* San Diego has a few lakes in the middle of it. And Canadian geese. And some wacky black birds that attack each other on end for no apparent reason. And some coyotes that run and howl right outside the RV! Keep your pets inside!
* Paddle ball on the beach is a blast. So is throwing Frisbee - according to the boys. And so is surfing - at least - it looks like fun and my sons will tell me so when they try it. I will read a book thank you very much.
* Been here 4 days and I already do not ever want to leave. I admit I am feeling a bit guilty sitting in the sun in January. But since it's been in the high 30's back home I'm not feeling all that guilty!!
* 5 weeks and counting. Stay tuned!
