Our road trip is coming to an end and we head back home. We decided to take a break on the long drive back to the Bay Area and stay in Bakersfield for the night before heading back on the 5. Death Valley is “just” a little over 2 hours from Las Vegas and you could say it is almost on the way. We did not do any hikes this time and only stopped at Zabriskie Point for the views and at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes but it was nice to see something other than sparkling lights and lots of people. The BIL and SIL are heading back to Germany and life will return to normal with school and work and all the other things (including loads of laundry to be finished).
This day also marks the end of NaBloPoMo. I do have some catching up to do on all the posts I missed in the last few days. Blogging was already a lot while travelling and family just came first this time. I did not quite think it through when I signed up. It was still a lot of fun though and I am happy to have found some new blogs on my radar. Thank you as always to San for organizing!
Home here and there 
Doing NaBloPo during a road trip is extra gold star material. But didnt you do this last year with travels to Germany as well?
The dunes look fun. We have visited some when we went through Death Valley to Las Vegas back in the day. But I bet there are lot of such places.

Yes, I did do it last year but somehow this year there was more preparing/planning involved and way less free time for me. I did not get around to much other than travelling this time around. I guess with family visiting from abroad we tried to do more.
