Joshua Tree

I spent the weekend celebrating my best friend’s birthday at an Airbnb in Joshua Tree. I had never been to the Palm Springs/Yucca Valley area before despite being a native Californian. It won’t be my last time going there however. It’s an absolutely gorgeous park that is hard to compare to anything I’ve seen before in my life.

The plants, wildlife and the landscape was absolutely fascinating. The sunset and sunrise over the mountains was absolutely breathtaking.

It was a long weekend trip that had a little bit of everything. We did a little bit of partying like we were in our 20s, did a lot of nature and a lot of relaxing. It was a great weekend catching up with old friends. I am a bit exhausted and may have taken more than one nap today.

I took tomorrow off as a day to get caught up. I have learned from these long weekends that taking a wraparound day allows me to properly reset mentally and physically. It allows me to hit the ground running on Tuesday feeling much more rested. I plan on golfing in the morning and then I’m planning on spending the afternoon getting caught up on emails and personal errands.
