Vacation coming to an end

Today's our last day in Palm Springs and we spent it doing absolutely nothing which was great. The other days we were doing all the touristy things. We ...
...went up the Aerial Tramway. The 10-min tram ride takes you up to 8,516 ft up into the mountains. Owen was so excited that he fell asleep on the ride up. The tram was standing room only in which the entire platform rotates 360 twice in one trip. The guide instructed people to not grab the rail too tightly as those are stationary but you still needed access to the rails because as you go over the 5 sets of posts, it will cause the tram to swing as you continue to proceed upwards. The temp at the was in the upper 40's and sunny. We only took a short hike since we weren't quite prepped for trekking in the slushy snow.
...drove through the Joshua Tree National Park. It was pretty awesome to see how quickly the vegetation can change as you drive through the park.
