Joshua Tree Escape

A couple weekends ago we took a little day trip to Joshua Tree, I'm always down to go on a little escape to the desert, especially during spring time. The weather was perfect with the bluest clear skies ever!

Stopping by Giant Rock Meeting Room for the best pizza in Yucca Valley.

Moonwind Trading Co. shop

Love how the moon is always aligned in ebb and flow with the shop's moon logo.

Pioneertown

We also had to stop by Joshua Tree Coffee of course ;)

Desert art

Hello moon.

Overall it was quickie yet fun trip!

Joshua Tree always amazes me, there is a sense of mystery and magic there which I can't get enough of.

I always look forward to go back!

Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures :)

Happy weekend!

The West is the Best

♫ Fleetwood Mac- Gypsy ♫

Last weekend my friend, Jackie, and I ventured out to the desert. It felt great going back to Yucca Valley and Joshua tree even if it was only for a day. I love everything about the desert from the beautiful earth tones, the nature, the stillness, the landscapes, and the wide open space! It's no wonder I missed it so much! I realized I rarely ventured out to the desert last year and it's where I always feel at ease, no worries, no stress.....just stillness and nature all around me...nothing better than that.

After Cal Earth we drove to Pioneertown, which sits right between Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree. They used to film old western films back in the day there and now it's just a cool tourist desert stop with general stores, thrift shops, a saloon, bars, a motel, a restaurant, and a pottery store. It's a MUST stop when you're around this area, you automatically feel like you're in an old western film from the 20's or 30's! There's even a farm with chickens and horses nearby....gotta love it lol :)
