During spring break I went to Palm Springs. When I arrived at Palm Springs I met a cactus with glasses and I named it, Smart Cactus. I also found a flower that looked like a Lorax.
I visited Blaze Pizza for the first time in my life. At Blaze Pizza, you get to choose the toppings for your pizza and they cook it really fast because it is a thin crust pizza and because they use real fire to cook it. At the hotel I stayed in, there was a mineral water pool. My family and I went in the mineral water pool almost every day. I also played pool and shuffleboard for the first time. Playing pool, I beat my brother and playing shuffleboard, I beat my dad.
I also went to the Salton Sea Beach. If you don’t know about the Salton Sea, what happened was there was a big crater in the desert and the colorado river overflowed and went over 100 miles away from its banks and filled this crater all the way up with water. The Salton Sea Beach once was a place where there were many hotels and houses but now it’s all broken down and the sand is made up of millions of broken shells from dead sea life.
The next day, my family and I went to Joshua Tree National Park. We found a rock formation that looked like Stonehenge, so we called it Stonehenge Jr. because there was only one. Before we went inside Joshua Tree National Park, we saw a house that was surrounded by big rocks. Back inside the park, we also saw a place that had rock formations that look like skulls. At Joshua Tree National Park, we climbed a lot of rocks and had a lot of fun.
In Palm Springs I also saw the Single A minor league stadium for the Los Angeles Angels. The team’s name is the Palm Springs Power. At the stadium, I got to stand in the batters box, stand on the pitcher’s mound, and sit in the dugout
On the way to Palm Springs we saw a really weird treehouse that was very colorful. Also, during the drive to Palm Springs my brother and I watched a lot of Tintin episodes from the show,”The Adventures of Tintin.” On the way home, I went to the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes stadium. The Quakes are the Single A minor league team for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Quakes stadium is known as “The home run capital of the world.” Although the trip was very fun, I couldn’t wait to get home and see my dog Pablo.
