Joshua Tree

I was gone almost eleven hours yesterday, off-campus with two of my girls and some boys from the other two cottages. We drove a couple hours to the desert, arriving at Joshua Tree. It was my first time visiting the national park and we had a great time. Besides one of the boys throwing a tantrum and some complaining from the others, it was a good trip. We climbed huge boulders, went on a hike to a dam, tried some rock climbing, and briefly walked through a mine. I'm sore and a little sunburnt, but it was a good change of pace to be gone all day.
