The Mojave Desert

Charlie and I took the girls to the Mojave Desert a couple of weeks ago. He was all gung ho about the trip, and me? Not so much. I kept dropping hints about going to the beach, but he wouldn't take the bait. In the end, I was so glad we went. The girls ran around, rode quads, played in the dirt and picked up lots of rocks. Charlie and I read a lot and enjoyed watching our kids have fun together.

Above is our campsite....we "dry camped." For all you non RVers, that means we didn't have any electricity, water or sewer hookups. We also did without cable TV and Internet! (gasp!) Don't worry, we weren't without conveniences. Our RV has a generator (we did watch "Cars" on Saturday afternoon), capacity to store a lot of water, and also a huge reserve tank to hold the said water when it has been, ahem, "used!"

Lily learned how to use Uncle Jim's quad, which he so kindly let us borrow while he was in Australia.

The girls are wearing Mommy and Daddy's helmets.
