J-Tree and P-Town

Mini road trip to Joshua Tree to explore the miraculous desert flora and fauna.  We walked the trails guzzling hot water, reapplying sunscreen, and, of course, laughing.  Our silliness seemed amplified by the rising mercury.  We oohed and ahhed at the massive boulders and spectacular landscape.  In Pioneertown, parked on the side of the sheriff's station on Main Street, we changed out of our dusty clothes into jeans.  The baby wipes bath left us surprisingly refreshed as we ordered BBQ at Pappy Harriet's.  The eclectic crowd and rockabilly band offered plenty of entertainment.  Drove home under a blanket of stars, heart bursting.
