Roman and I posing in front of a Joshua tree.

Two of our closest friends were getting engaged, so we hightailed it out to California to be there for the special event (which was a surprise to one of the parties and so much fun!) which took place in the beautiful Joshua Tree National Park.  It was a wonderful day of hiking, excitement, and wonderful company!

Roman leans against the rocks. Petroglyphs – not authentic but neat nonetheless! Each tree was so unique!

California skies are so, so blue! The desert weather got to Roman. Actually it was quite cold! Amazing vista! Fallen rock.

The happy couple (she said yes!) Photo of a photo of a photo of a ring. This is actually at the salt marshes – can you spot the heron? Tern at the salt marshes.
