Inn at Death Valley

Hubby and I wanted to visit Death Valley some years back and it didn’t work out.  A couple of weeks ago I booked a three night stay at the Inn at Death Valley.  We’re looking forward to visiting a place we’ve not been to in over two decades.

Linking up with a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Betty, Steve, image-in-ing, Xmas Dolly, Keith, Cathy, Sara, Esme Salon, CatSynth, and Suzana.

    I have crossed the Death Valley long time ago, it was in 1971, and I doubt that this beautiful inn existed !

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      It was built in 1927, but it’s not something you can see from the main highways. 🙂

      The last time we were there we couldn’t afford to stay here. Now we can so we’re going to enjoy it. 🙂

    It certainly looks like an oasis in the desert.
    We like visiting new places with unique accommodations as well as returning to places that hold fond memories. Sometimes getting there isn’t as much fun as we remember. Have a wonderful visit.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      We didn’t get to see everything we wanted to see the last time we were there so we’re looking forward to visiting those places. 🙂

    Not everyone can say they’ve stayed in Death Valley!
    You’ll get extra street cred, for sure.

      Sandee says:

      There are some motels there and many come to explore, but there’s nothing like the Inn at Death Valley. Beautiful place. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      We’re glad too. To return to a place we had such a great time exploring is wonderful. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      It’s a beautiful place. The last time we were there we stayed in a motel. About a 2 on the scale of nice, but it’s all we could afford. We’re going to do the very best accommodations this time. Hugs. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.

    The images are quite spectacular, but I really do not understand the cause of the colour from
    the second image. It’s an effect from the sun? It looks beautiful but so strange…

Be safe & be healthy & spending more time with loved ones could be trying, so watch your temper & this too I promise you in accordance to my heart you will be rewarded for it! If something bugs you just say you need time out & excuse yourself. Things will be fine after that. I promise. Hugs!..... I promise things will be fine now! Let us pray..... LORD! CAN YOU HEAR ME LORD? I'm sending up a small request. In the name of JESUS..... GOD bless you all from the bottom of my heart!!!! Being disabled wasn't any fun in the beginning, but now that I'm getting all my friends back from all over the world too & new ones too, I wear a smile on my face & I am content & happy once again! God bless you all! Amen... Thanks for the smile! Thanks for hubby's smile too! Now that I have friends I tell him your names and then he looks at me funny & says, "Oh yeah, sure! Riiiiiiiiiight!!!!

    Sandee, a few years back Steve & I had a bunch of funny Camels we sent back & forth & when I found the one with lipstick he split a gut & we’ve been joking about it ever since. LOL Just something to do to lift spirits! You & your boyfriend there have a wonderful romantic evening I’m about to soak in the tub for a bit & sooth this leg/back of mine. Then back to sayin’ hello! HELLO again! Love U! I wish we lived close by sigh 🙁

    I hope you’ll have a wonderful time! My teen is on a big road trip with his dad. They hit Indy, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and then they’ll head to Texas for a few days before he heads back home. I’ve not been to some of those places and they are pretty great looking. The canyon dwellings in New Mexico are actually pretty amazing!! Have you seen them? I can’t believe people lived in them!

    Death Valley…Wowzers! I would not want to be there right now, but it would be purrfect in January. We did NOT post yesterday. Mom totally forgot it was my birthday.

    Dear Sandee <3 <3

    Been a while. I’ve been caught up with life. But always lovely to swing by.

    I am curious to know why its called death valley? I get a spooky vibe too. Is it?

    Sending you so much love and big big kisses. Miss ya.

      Death Valley is in the Mohave Desert. In the summer it gets boiling hot and it’s vast. Back in the day of the wagon trains it took a long time to pass through. Many never made it. Love you Natasha. 🙂

  18. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
