My Trip to Joshua Tree and Palm Desert

I want to tell you about my trip I took during Spring Break.

In April, my family and I drove down to Irvine, CA. During the trip, we drove with my grandma and grandpa to Joshua Tree National Park. It was supposed to be very windy while we were there; there were warnings about high wind speeds. I had an awesome time there!

We first drove around and saw a lot of cool rock formations like the ones above.

We were climbing on all the rocks. It was a lot of fun! After we spent some time at the rocks, we hiked a trail that lead around a lake.

Most of the lake was dried up; there was only a tiny lake of water. After that we had a picnic and drove to a place where there was a fantastic view of the San Andreas Fault. It was amazing!

After we left Joshua Tree, we drove to our hotel in Palm Desert. We were going to stay in a Marriott timeshare. That means that you can either stay in a room like you would in a regular hotel or you can purchase a room for certain days of the year and come there yearly. The hotel was broken into many buildings. We were staying in a room near one of the pools. After we dropped our stuff off in our room, we headed for the pool!

The pool was awesome!!! There was a waterslide (Grandma went on it) and a huge pool. We had tons of fun!

Our hotel room was very nice:

The next day we went to the puffed cereal factory. I know it seems like a weird place but I had a lot of fun there. I learned how they make puffed cereal with different equipment. It was very interesting! To explore different parts of the factory, we had to dress up as you see below:

I had a awesome trip to Palm Desert and Joshua Tree National Park and I hope that I am able to go back!!
