Super Bloom at Anza-Borrego State Park

Since the rain season of 2018-2019 provided California's deserts with much needed water, we decided to go to the desert on March 22nd and visit Anza-Borrego State Park to see the wild flowers in bloom.  Due to our schedule, we were about a week and a half late from the peak bloom.  However, as the attached pictures show, we had some wonderful displays.

Enjoying the Snow in Park City, Utah

On Sunday, February 24th, we joined Hugh's brother David and his wife, Debbie, in Park City for a week.  The ladies found many interesting to do in town, and Hugh spent three days skiing and one day snowmobiling. 
 On Monday., the 25th, we visited the "Ice Castles",  which is an attraction in Midway, Utah.  These are ice formations, that are made with tunnels and caves for the visitors to explore.   We had snow, a great week of winter activities, and wonderful dinners.  On Thursday, we went to the St. Regis Hotel, where they have a Champaign ceremony where they open up a bottle of Champaign with a sword at sunset.  Here are some pictures of our week in the snow:
