Death Valley in Spring (March 2012)

Lexi losing it a little on the long drive to Death Valley.  When we go there and told her "here it is - our dessert vacation"  She very clearly stated "This not cation, I want the other kind, on a plane in Hawaii" .... Hmmmm - not what she was expecting.  LOL! 

 We stayed at the Furnace Creek Ranch.  We took over four of the cabins.  Each had rocking chairs on the porch.  There was a spring fed pool that Lexi and Laura enjoyed, a very small put put golf, basketball and tennis. 

A lizard - the first of many!

SCOTTY's CASTLE...

Hey Lexi - a pay phone!  Do you know what that is?

 Scotty's Castle - Lexi and Tessie slept on the drive there.  We left our "ranch" at below sea level to go visit Scotty's Castle that was over 3,000 feet in elevation!
