Before children, Richard and I once went a weekend trip with some friends to Palm Springs in August. It was so hot that we have since referred to the trip as "our vacation on the sun" and we haven't been back. Well, in January we got a really good deal on a weekend trip to Palm Springs. We had so much fun! This time the weather was absolutely perfect! Connor was so exited to go on our trip. He was especially excited about our hotel room. It was so cute how he ran around the rooms (it was like a minisuite with bedroom, bathroom, and living room/kitchen). He had to check it all out and then tell us all about it. We loved the super fun pools with slides! We had so much fun swimming! Did I mention it was beautiful weather? We were swimming in a pool in January! It was like 80 degrees out and it was so cool because we could see snow on top of the mountains in the distance as we swam. I love California! Another thing Connor loved about the hotel was the breakfast buffet. He just thought it was the best thing ever invented! He had pancakes and sausage, fruit and his new favorite Lucky Charms. Marshmallows in cereal? Why have we never had this before? The hotel had beautiful grounds and we had fun walking along pathways and over bridges. Abby loved the ducks! We also went to a great children's museum while we were there and we had a ton of fun playing! It was great to get away with our family!
Connor and Abby went to Disneyland with their friends' Christopher, Grace, Makena, and Brody. We had a great time! We are so fortunate to have such wonderful friends! (And yes I know the Mickey Mouse picture is sideways! It is saved in my folder facing the correct way I promise. However, when I load it, it turns this way. I have tried it a million times and have finally given up before I throw the lap top across the room! So, sorry, you will have to crank your necks to see that one. I like to think it makes my blog interactive!)
