Joshua Tree National Park

I had a special afternoon enjoying one of our beautiful national parks this week. Staying in Palm Desert, Joshua Tree National Park was about an hour’s drive and such an incredible place to visit. With so much in the news regarding the administration’s disruption to our national parks it felt especially poignant spending time there.

Our national parks are a treasure and should be protected and valued.

West to East Caribbean on the Sun Princess

I recently completed another cruise, this time two weeks on the newest ship in the Princess fleet, the Sun Princess. It’s a beautiful ship and is massive in size. Lots of walking onboard and off ship at several new ports plus revisiting St Thomas. Here are some of my favorite photos from sailing out of Ft Lauderdale to Mahogany Bay in Honduras, to Cozumel, Puerto Rico and St Thomas. More posts will follow, stay tuned.

Candlelight: Día De Los Muertos: Celebrating the Day of the Dead

While in Santa Fe we learned of a Candlelight concert to be held at the New Mexico Museum of Art.

We were already planning to tour the museum itself and decided to check out the venue while there. We came back that evening and thoroughly enjoyed the event.
