Popsicle Stars

We went to Joshua Tree to camp and watch the Orionids meteor shower. Joshua Tree is up in the high desert near 29 Palms. When we got there, the weather was nice and warm so we decided to go for a drive to explore the rest of the park. We found some really cool boulders to scramble up and down on.

Upon further exploration we found a lonely, but photogenic tree. So we included it in our socializing. Antonio and Ben brought their puppy Franklin. He's a black cocker spaniel about 5 months old and he's sooo cute! He's one of the mellowest little pups I've ever met. He never barked and he wasn't at all hight maintenance. Maybe I just liked him cause he would sit on my lap and just snuggle up. =) The meteor shower itself was a bit thin and it got crrraaazy cold and windy at night, but we still had a good time. We saw a couple of really bright trailer shooting stars. The next morning was just as windy so we leached a little power to run the coffee maker, had breakfast and then packed up to go home. Definitely a fun trip. Check out the pics here.
