Hey everyone!
Well, our first few days on the road have been incredible. After a quick flight from Kansas City to LA, we drove straight to the Imperial Valley to spend a few days with my brother (Laura speaking) and his wife and kids. We were anticipating that we would enjoy our time together, but we weren't expecting to be so blown away by the beautifully diverse scenery of the desert.
From the cactuses that just happened to be in bloom ALL at the same time, to the unusual cloud cover and brief rains that resulted in perfectly mild temperatures, the desert seemed to be showing off for us during our explorations. We had a blast searching for unique rocks with the kids, hiking over terrain that looked like another planet, playing in the shifting sand of the Glamis dunes, and catching up with family over delicious authentic Mexican food. A special thanks to our brother, sister-in-law, and nieces and nephew for hosting us and giving us our first taste of the desert of California! We are smitten.
There's no way we could share all the photos we took during our stay in the Valley here on the blog, so check our Instagram and Facebook for more during the next few days!
Speaking of the next few days…
After a brief stop for some unexpected hangout time with friends in San Diego, we are now in LA, soaking up more of this amazing California sunshine. Tomorrow we head in for our first recording session of the trip with drummer Aaron Sterling (check out more about him on his website or give him a follow on Instagram) and we can't wait to get started on the tracks. We are looking forward to sharing about that experience with you, so stay tuned for the next update!
Thanks for joining us.
