So it started from the plane...I could see these little pom-pom ball trees sticking up taller than all the other trees and houses. I began thinking then that Palm Trees were not so awesome - more Dr. Seuss and kinda retarded. After we landed and started driving and I saw them randomly popping up I began to try and understand the point of a palm tree - or at least the pom-pom palm trees. Here in Texas we line our roads with large trees to shade our yards, houses and streets....I couldn't see much shade going on with the palm trees. It was really funny to see a beautiful house with all these gorgeous plants and different kinds of foliage in front of it - and a really tall palm tree towering over the yard so when you look at the house you just see this tree trunk. lol!!! You had to look up to see the tree! Anyway, there are other types of palm trees that are much shorter and fuller that look beautiful - but these other ones - the pom pom's (along with the purple and orange trees) gives California a Dr Seuss feel like no other!!
