Palm Desert with the Family

Whenever I go on a trip I take TONS of pictures. At first I was going to break my plan of one picture a day and post a series, but since I struggle with being decisive, I thought it would be healthy for me to choose one. After much deliberation, here are my two favorites not just because of the artistic angles but because of the people in the shots.

Location: Mt. San Jacinto, Palm Springs, CA

On Saturday we took the tram to the top of Mt. San Jacinto and found a beautiful winter playground. We built a snowman, had a snowball fight and trudged around. In the foreground of this picture you see a snow laden tree and in the background you see a classic picture of Scott picking on Jorgie while Achlee and Christian stand-by.
