Death Valley Days

We all need a vacation now and again. My family and I are going on a road trip to Death Valley this President’s weekend. With all the rain California has gotten this winter, the desert wildflowers are in full bloom. We are driving to Ridgecrest, CA. to spend the night in a motel. We plan to visit the Navy Museum on the China Lake Naval Weapons base (Yes, we’ll be looking at Tomahawks and Sidewinder missiles.) Also we will visit the Maturango Museum, a center for Cultural and Natural History of the Upper Mojave Desert. They have hands on children’s area where the girls can go and have lots of fun. Kathryn who just turned 8 years is very interested in wildflowers and American Indian culture. She is very excited in visiting the desert.

Saturday we will drive around Death Valley National Park looking at the sites and wildflowers. We’ll take digitals and post to the blog site. I’m looking forward to spending time with nature and site seeing with my family! We’ll pick up a souvenir for Graham.

Space is the Place!
