I can't believe I overlooked the kitchenettes part!!! LOL!! I am saved! If we can't eat at Pappy & Harriet's, I'll do something simple and painless like Christmas Burgers. :) I'm really excited-- Patrick has been so overwhelmed with work that we haven't done any real "California" things since he's been here. I'm really excited to go to Joshua Tree-- I've been down in that area twice so far, but once was in June and once was in September, and it was just too damn hot to be walking around in the desert.
