We wanted to go somewhere fun over Labor Day weekend this year, but we soon found that it was suppose to be raining pretty much everywhere within driving distance. So, we went to the one place in the world, where your almost guaranteed not to get rained on... Death Valley National Park. It is only about a 2 hour drive from our house.
It was still really hot, so we didn't get to do much hiking, but we did brave the sand dunes. Ady and Alysa had fun sliding down the dunes, and Bry got frustrated trying to make a sand castle. By the time we got back to the car our shoes were full of sand.
We also visited Badwater Basin - the lowest and hottest point in North America, Zabriskie Point, Artists Drive and the Devils Golf Course. The girls also worked hard to earn their Death Valley Junior Ranger Badge.
There wasn't alot of dining options along the way, and the girls were starving. 
So we stopped in Death Valley Junction, CA to eat at the Amaragosa Opera House and Hotel Cafe. The place is suppose to be haunted, and it has been on the TV shows, Chris Angel Mindfreak and Ghosthunters. But because it was Sunday, they were closed. The girls thought they were going to starve to death.

Luckily, there happened to be a little cafe in Lathrop Wells. According to the signs, we were in "Alien Territory". I guess since the haunted cafe was closed, we had to eat at the Alien one.
