Road Trip to the Tuscon Bead Show

I believe the Tuscon Bead show is one of the largest (if not the largest) bead, gem and jewelry show in the U.S.  there are vendors from all over the world who exhibit and sell their wares there.

If you didn’t know, my wife owns a bead and jewelry business so we get to go to Tuscon every year to see what’s new and restock the store.

On the way there we stopped in Cabazon to see the dinosaurs, do a little shopping and spent the night at Morongo Casino.

The dinosaurs are a little piece of Americana off I-10 that everyone should check out at least once.
