Joshua Tree National Park

On Sunday we headed home from San Diego. We would have arrived home at some reasonable hour had we not taken a detour to see Joshua Tree National Park. Even though this detour meant we did not get to bed until 3 am, it was so worth it. We want to go back when we have more time. It was, as can be (sort of) observed below, amazing.

I made the unfortunate choice of eating Chinese food right before entering the park. Chinese food does not generally agree with me. This picture was snapped ten minutes after I threw it all up. Oops. We certainly won't be making that mistake again.

The girls earned their Junior Ranger badges and had fun posing outside of the visitor center together. Like I said, they have been getting along fantastically well ever since Mary shared her cotton candy at the zoo.
