Golf Anyone?

That’s what they claim anyway – “Devil’s Golf Course”. Could make for a long, long game of golf. 🙂
Where is this, you ask? Well, instead of getting all dressed up and chowing down at a huge brunch, we decided to go camping in Death Valley over the Easter weekend. Probably not the first thing to come to mind if someone where to ask you what your plans were for Easter, but we certainly weren’t the only ones to think of it. In fact, the camp sites were all pretty full! I have to admit, we probably would never have thought of going if it weren’t for one of our colleagues at work telling us how cool Death Valley is, particularly in the Spring with all of the wildflowers in bloom. Here are a couple of my favorite shots with the contrast of the colorful wildflowers with the harsh landscape behind them.
The weather could not have been better. The mornings we were able to visit the low lying areas such as the sand dunes where the kids trekked 2 miles out, determined to make it to the top of the highest dune…and make it they did! Super fun running down too! 🙂 In the afternoons when the temperatures started pushing 90 degrees, we would head up to the many different canyon areas with huge variations in types of rock with a perfect temperature of around 70.
And here’s a complete photo album of our trip (also includes a couple videos)!
