We are excited every time we see a tumbleweed blowing around.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We stayed at a hotel near Joshua Tree Park and in the morning began the drive to San Diego. We passed huge farms of windmills along the way.<\/p>\n

I HAD to stop in Palm Springs since that is where my mother went last year to watch tennis and she talks about it a lot.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, it was raining when we drove into this desert oasis town. There were lots of palm trees and a huge mountain towering over the little community.<\/p>\n

We stopped and ate at Joe’s sushi and then walked down the main street a bit. Then, since it’s no fun in Palm Springs when it’s cold and rainy, we hit the road.<\/p>\n

We decided to follow the Bodeswell<\/a> family on a longer drive past a large salt-water lake and through the mountains. Apparently the lake was made after a large dam was built by a developer. But the lake turned out to be salty and it didn’t quite draw crowds.<\/p>\n

After the lake, we drove through a different kind of dessert with flowering plants and little rock canyons which experience flash flooding.<\/p>\n

Further on, it started raining. And then it rained more. We expected this turn in the weather, but were still glad to arrive in San Diego around dinner time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
