TRAVEL VLOG: JOSHUA TREE, CA

[Music] [Music] so as you can tell this travel video travel blog whatever you want to call it is going to be in Joshua Tree which is in California I'm very excited because I've never been here before but I've always wanted to go we are here with Alex and Dan and then of course Pat but you guys knew that but basically this year we decided to skip Coachella not because we're too cool or anything but we've been there for four years and or we've gone for four years and we thought that this year we would do something a little bit more relaxing a little bit different still getting that whole like desert feel but on a way more like relaxing chill vibe that make sense this is one of those vlogs that I actually have no idea how it's gonna go normally when we travel we have like planned itineraries and we have like places to see and places to go but like Joshua Tree is very chill like there's not a lot to we're obviously in a national park so we're gonna explore that our Airbnb is super super cute but it's definitely meant for more of a escape relaxation getaway but I'm excited to show you how beautiful it is here and then of course give you guys some tips if you decided decide to come here but like I said we are staying in an air B&B I think the air B&B is like one of the only ways to travel in my opinion but also especially for here I find that you're just kind of immersed into it and it's just a little bit more authentic what are we doing today well we're filming shooting photos I brought a big Polaroid because pretty cool we're gonna cook tacos tonight what Dan's gonna grill grill out it's gonna be really fun we're gonna play some games hang out I'm gonna I got to think of something to vlog bring this trip cuz it's just I want to just lay and like relax [Music] what's your eat-in someone left a little copy of Catcher in the Rye and some hope they're in education across [Music] so we just finished shooting some photos it's very windy today but it's sunny so that helps at least we shot I think my favorite one is this yellow dress really cool we did one by like a clothesline it was really windy and the dress is really flowy so we worked with it hi Alec it makes your eyes look huge you look like Harry Potter Harry plopper Harry Potter I'm cooking a little bit of ham eggs some salsa on the top I'm gonna cheese a little bit of tequila [Music] we have moved to the beautiful outside the wind died down a little bit pets in the outdoor tub drinking a corona living his best life dan made some yummy looking steak tacos or very excited to eat what is this so that's a homemade pickled slaw YUM red cabbage red onion so I'm gonna make my taco we're gonna eat outside while the Sun sets so it is day going to the saloon we are going to this place called pioneer town it's near Joshua Tree we spent most of the morning and just kind of like hanging out doing what we did yesterday so not much variation there but we thought we would go explore this place because a lot of our friends told us to check it out because there's also this place called Pappy and Harriet's which is like a saloon bar and grill they have live music so we're really excited about that because it should be really fun but this pioneer town is like an old western-style town so it should be really fun we're gonna get some cool photos also I should probably mention we rented a jeep because it is about three hours outside of La maybe a little less without the Coachella traffic but it's super handy and it's also very perfect for the location that we're in [Music] we just made it to pioneer town super super cute we're basically walking through the whole town they have like little gift shops and little cool like museums it's more than I thought it was I thought it was literally just like abandoned buildings that was used for a movie set but it's actually really cool and people have shops here so that's awesome they have mood rings and I have not seen a mood ring in a minute mines is blue which is relaxed true alright Alex I do want me to put it on you it's gonna be like red green or which green is it there's a clove or on it's like a teal like a green blue which is normal do you believe in mood rings blue like it's really blue look at mine compared to his blue mine's realized Sam why is my damn relax with Amir damn really yeah but look at our difference Oh yours is like more dark you're closer to calm your mood changes my finger uses green which is your normal or mixed emotions that could be mixed in my fashion I'm oh yeah that looks like passion joy honest oh look you're sweet you're sweet but a psycho oh very happy really happy yes you're wild this is magnetic it's like a pattern around it [Music] let's try it with this guy cuz they all do different things [Music] it's hard to get it all off the excuse sticking to it right only that's a smaller one oh yeah put it in light TV that's crazy [Music] Pat well I love it too but Pat loves pottery so we just bought this to bring home with us there's been a murder [Music] Instagram husband hard at work we love him you look great Hey [Music] we are packing up our Jeep we are going to the National Park today should be really nice it's a beautiful day we thought it would be crazy to come to Joshua Tree and not go to the National Park we are really close to it but some of the landmarks that we want to see are about 45 minutes to an hour away from where we're staying because the National Park is huge but luckily we got this Jeep we're gonna probably put the top down somewhat and go in a little road trip we got blankets we got snacks it's gonna be fun [Music] first up in the National Park is the cactus garden this is insane I only saw one photo before come here and cactuses everywhere [Applause] [Music] [Music] this is the only spot I had mapped out but we got a map when we entered the park which is $30 for a car and if you're walking into the scene dollars person but we got a map so we're gonna find another cool spot after this all right so we got our handy-dandy National Park map because also what do we not have you don't have cell service need a GPS it went black but they get it we started out 92 and we took the 29 poems exit to the north entrance and we drove from here down to the Cholla cactus garden [Music] next stop on the national park Valley which is so awesome very different from cactus farm we're at we're now [Music] [Music] [Music] stunning stunning highly recommended open it open it open it squeeze the side of those [Music] [Music] [Music] this is our last day or last we're leaving Joshua Tree what am I saying I am really bummed about it because we had a really good time it was so relaxing so nice but actually more importantly Pat and I kind of like feel recharged if that makes sense and I know that sounds really like cliche and dumb but we're not used to going on trips where we don't have like touristy things to do so we had a lot of time to just kind of like hone in on our skills more so Pat with his photos we got some amazing photos here and it was just really fun to kind of like try new things do things different with cameras and kind of have fun with it and be more creative and not look at it so much like a job and more fun so I'm excited about that but we are not leaving yet we are dance dancing in the background we are driving to the poppy fields which we wanted to go check out we're kind of on this nature kick with the National Park so we thought on our way back to LA because we have a night in LA before we go back to New York we thought we would check out the poppy fields because they look we're really pretty and we can kind of detour from the Coachella traffic so it's perfect the road again only lyrics I know from that song at the moment now [Music] definitely not good I know there's a lot of them so doesn't feel like damage but they have the trails there and it's really easy to get beautiful [Music]
