When the family’s complete because the eldest son came to visit on his school break and you can’t take a leave from work you take advantage of nearby places to minimize travel time and will allow you do to a day trip.
One such place for us is the Joshua Tree National Park (aka JTNP.) With the abundance of open space, trails of all difficulty levels and lengths, and surrounded by awe-inspiring rock formations, a day trip is just not enough. But we’ll take what we can get with the time we have.
Joshua Tree National Park is an American national park in southeastern California, east of Los Angeles, near San Bernardino and Palm Springs. The park is named for the Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) native to the Mojave Desert.

We hiked. We climbed. We watched. We learned. We explored. We talked. We laughed. We posed. We took photos. We ate. We played games.
Our hearts were full, being in the middle of another one of God’s breathtaking creations and in the middle of our own little loving family.
