4th of July in Humid Palm Springs

Yes humid. I went running twice during the week and if I'd closed my eyes (which I don't recommend while running mind you), I could have sworn I was back in northern Virginia or, gasp! Wisconsin.

It's the golf courses I'm told. All that water repeatedly being put in the air creates a humidity unexpected for a desert climate. Get this, it was 118 degrees and 85 percent humidity... good grief.

So, the grandparents, Trish and I headed up to Joshua Tree National Park for some heat/humidity relief. It was my grandparents first visit. Such a great feeling to have a couple of people in their late 80's/90 in awe by the sights in the park. I'm lucky. I do have a couple of the coolest grandparents a person could have.

Here are a few pics:
