Apparently, the Angelenos are going on vacation in Palm Springs, because when I went to book a house there for me and my family, EVERYTHING was taken. Yet like many families during quarantine, ours needed a change of scenery ASAP. So I continued searching, and I found myself looking in a place I’d never visited before - Joshua Tree.

This has been craving my whole pregnancy. I would go to Whole Foods every day, order one, and drink it down as it would run from me. It was seriously so funny how much I loved it. After a while, I made it at home because the drive every day became taxing.

Travel has been such a big part of the Black household, and we always plan trips and things to do for the summer. This summer has been unlike any summer we have spent as a family because we haven’t been able to go on vacation.

Like most people, 2020 hasn't been what I envisioned it to be at the beginning. I was jotting down my goals in December but have very different goals in mind now. Understanding this new era, we are blessed to see profoundly.
