Palm Desert Road Trip

This week we took a brief 3 day trip to Palm Desert California to visit one of Joel's mission companions- Eric and his wife Ashton :) We had an amazing time, but the highlight was our 10 minute trip up a tram on Mount San Jacinto which took us from the 75 degree desert to a 38 degree mountain forest :) What a blast! Thank you Eric and Ashton for a great trip and a ton of fun!



We weren't quite expecting the 38 degree weather at the top... thus we resulted to shoving our child in daddys sweatshirt :)


This picture does not show how freezing we were! But look at the amazing view of the valley!


Me and Van, both as bundled as we prepared for... which, wasn't sufficient.


Standing on snow. The only picture that proves that it was cold :)


The clan


Bundled in his car seat. A lady in passing commented in horror "OMG, I'm sure hes so cold... I can't believe you didn't cover his face, I would have definitely covered his face"... I donno what would be worse, me SUFFOCATING my child, or his face being a little cold... Hmmmm.. toss up! ;)


This picture doesn't do this hill justice... We walked up a 1/4 mile hill that was extremely steep!! Our butts got an incredible workout!


A beautiful view of the Mountain Valley.

Headed home on the tram! What an awesome trip!
