March 28th- Agua Caliente
We are in the most amazing spot in the middle of the dessert, near almost nothing. There are hot springs, 2 out door pools and a therapeutic indoor pool. Granite cliffs surround the area and desert cactus are flowering near a creek filled with frogs and cool breezes. Today we saw a road runner, a huge mountain goat and many lizards all from the comfort of the soaking pool. It is divine. We are staying an extra night.
Jalama beach- This was actually our first night officially camping out (in January). Not staying with family or in a friends driveway ( Which has been awesome AND thank you). It was right on the beach and was recommended to us by friends who had camped there. Some of the best places so far have been friends suggestions. There are amazing and friendly people camping all around and we have enjoyed meeting people and making friends along the way. Since it’s been about 6 weeks, I’ll just post some pictures. Details are becoming faded. I am well sunned, and tired from playing outside for hours each day. 
Joshua Tree National Park, last week of March
Its hard to believe it is only the beginning of spring. The heat we have been camping in the last couple of weeks has gotten a little intense at moments. Here though, it cools down at night and is a bit cooler then the surrounding dessert. This is the first time we’ve ever been to Joshua Tree,and I’m a bit hesitant to talk about how amazing it its. Camping spots are first come first served giving this place a feel of a secret well kept. And well...
The best part however is the rocks. There are huge granite formations suitable for climbing. Childs level up to serious climbers challenge. We are camping right up against a pile of boulders so high it keeps us shaded into late morning. This was the first stop on our National Park tour and it is definitely a new favorite!
