We were thrilled to get out of the snow for a week and spend some quality family time in Palm Springs. The resort was gorgeous and we spent many hours at the pools. What else do you do when it is sunny and 85 degrees everyday. Our patio looked out to a lake with ducks which Scarlett loved and riding our bikes around town was also a hit.
Ellie got a fabulous new bike for her 10th birthday which she celebrated by taking her best friend to Tea Time at the Grand America Hotel. It was quite fun and low key. More about that later.
My idea of a perfect vacation includes lots of sleeping in which never happens with a 1 year old but laying on your patio in the warm sun eating strawberries and oranges at 7:30 a.m. certainly beats laying in your dark, cold house with snow outside watching cartoons and eating cereal at 7:30 a.m. The other high light of our trip was leaving Robert and Scarlett at the hotel to fend for themselves while Ellie and I went to see "Never Say Never". You read right, the Justin Beiber movie which I ended up really liking. Thanks to the cd Christie sent Ellie for her birthday we got to enjoy listening to "the beiber" in our car to and from California. Scarlett loves the cd and makes me put it on daily so she can dance to it. I seriously love having girls. Our hotel bathroom had a HUGE jetted tub which Ellie, Scarlett and myself spent plenty of nights in. Don't worry Robert didn't feel left out, he was just happy for some quiet alone time besides the 2 hour bike rides he did every morning after feeding the girls breakfast. It has taken a while but he might actually be getting it. He even made them pancakes one morning with the help of Ellie and danced to Ellie's Justin Beiber cd. All in all a good time was had and we now know where we want to retire.
