hot, Hot, HOT!!!

While I'm sure my husband read this and thinks I am talking about him, this time, and only this time, I'm not. :)

Richard and I had the opportunity earlier this month to leave Sarah at the Steele's house for the weekend and we headed to Indio, CA. Why Indio? Because we were able to get a condo for very reasonable and all we wanted to do was hang out anyway. We had a terrific time. While we did take a few pics on Richard's camera, I am not posting any of them...let's just say, I look nothing like the title of this post. Maybe I'll regret this decision later, but for now, I am A-Okay with it! :)

We arrived Friday evening to humid, hot weather. We knew it would be hot there but figured the desert is a dry heat, which is more tolerable, but it was humid while we were there and thus it seemed really hot. We walked around the resort grounds Friday night and planned our weekend.

Saturday we attended a presentation about the timeshare program where we were staying. They paid us $75 and we got a yummy breakfast out of it. Totally worth 2 hours of our morning. We then headed into Palm Springs where we had Mexican food for lunch, went thrifting (what a nice, patient husband I have), and then headed up the tram to the top of Mt. San Jacinto where it was atleast 20 degrees cooler. If ever you are in Palm Springs, do this!!! There are miles and miles of hiking trails and in the winter you can even rent cross country skis, snowshoes, or sleds. Too fun! That evening we hung out in the Lazy River at the pool, ordered Dominoes pizza, and sat in our air conditioned condo and watched the movie Arranged.

It was a wonderful getaway before baby #2 arrives. Sarah had a fabulous time with the Steeles and didn't even know we were gone. If just the getaway wasn't enough the reception she gave us when we got back, was magical. I could almost leave more often just so I can see her so happy to see me! My heart melted!
