Over Memorial weekend, I went to Palm Desert. It is two and a half hours away, so it's an easy car trip. In the desert, we share a condo with our cousins and when we stay there, I sleep on a bunk bed and I get to sleep on the top! My friends
Royce and Brenden were there too. Sadly, we didn't see each other. We even brought our two dogs, Oliver and Chadney!
It's interesting that what was once just desert is now a city full of roads, restaurants, houses, shopping centers, hotels and even casinos.
Also, I noticed there was some green cacti in certain parts. One of the days the temperature was over a
100 degrees! That day, we went swimming. Another day, we went to our grandma's house and rode on her new golf cart. The last day we played football in a huge grassy area that we share with all the neighbors. My trip was very fun! When we went home we had to drive through a part of the desert that has
thousands of windmills! Windmills spin around in circles to produce power to cities. These windmills (called wind turbines) produce enough electricity each year to meet the needs of about 100,000 homes or 250,000 people.
