The day began at the pool. After a couple of hours and a Bloody Mary, we were ready to head back to the room and get ready for our visit with Uncle Jerry and his finace, Annie.
We had a fabulous time! We went hiking right on the San Andreas fault.
The boys thought that was pretty cool. We hiked right to an Oasis. I know, it's true, hiking in the desert and we come to this watering hole surrounded by palm trees.
I was definitely not expecting that!
On the way back, Jason finds this log that looks like a Bazooka gun.
Of course, he had to have it so he carried it all the way back to the car. Well, most of the way with a little help from Mom. Unfortunately, after carrying it all the way back,the forestry person wouldn't let him take it out of the desert. He was so disappointd. Bummer!
Then, we visited the wind mill park in Palm Springs. There were hundreds of them. Did you know that each one produces 300 kilowatts per hour, enough energy for a typical house to have energy for a whole month. Pretty amazing. Also, each one costs about $300,000. Zachary says we really should invest in one but I don't think our neighbors would appreciate it.
It really was turned out to be a fantastic day.
We ended the evening by visiting my Uncle's favorite mexican restaurant in Palm Springs.
Meeting Uncle Jerry's fiancé and having the boys spend some great bonding time with my Uncle
was really priceless.
