2018 Palm Springs

final palm springs day

It was another beautiful day in Palm Springs. We lounged by the pool all day. We played lime putting and I sunk a hole in one! I earned us BOGO margaritas. Just what we needed! 🙂
We swam, we relaxed, we hung out with friends and had a truly wonderful day! I’m so, so grateful for this time we had and hope we will plan another trip together soon.

Gwyneth and I got up early and went to the archery class at the hotel. It was just the two of us which was really fun and it was early enough that the heat had not fully hit yet. 

Lots of fun with my little lady!

Then it was back to the pool. 
We splurged and got rafts for the girls too so we’d have more pool toys to play with. They were all lots of fun and provided hours of entertainment. 
We had the pool to ourselves most of our visit. It was wonderful!
Gwyneth and Sarah took a break in the afternoon to make tie dye shirts. 
silly girls!
the view from the pool. We fell in love with all those palm trees. 
the shirts turned out great! 
Annabelle took a little break for lunch. The heat was a lot to take but she kept on laughing…
After even more swimming, all the girls took a break to build a buddy. Those suckers were fully stuffed! 
We had dinner at Las Casuelas  and it may have been my favorite the entire trip. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and fancy drinks. It was a great choice!
So thankful to Connie and Mitch for such a fun vacation. 
I sure do like this guy.
The whole crew!
After dinner we headed back to the hotel for an attempt at the escape room. The girls were really eager to find clues. We found all the clues and keys and managed to escape!

Our first full day in Palm Springs was all about sunshine and swimming. It is hot, hot, hot in Palm Springs – the temperature was over 100 degrees everday. It maxed out at 107 degrees while we were there. Yikes! That is crazy hot. We didn’t mind much though because we lounged by the pool and swam our days away.

Time to hit the pool!
The Tendlers had this silly whale that provided hours and hours of entertainment for us all!
Awesome!
The girls were having so much fun that I had to join in too! It was a blast!
The hotel had a sundae bar each day at 2 pm. It was a sweet, cool break from a full day in the pool. 
Ice cream didn’t keep them out of the pool for long. 
We all cleaned up and grabbed dinner at Bill’s Pizza in downtown Palm Springs. The pizza hit the spot! 
The girls enjoyed the mist outside the restaurant. 
We walked around downtown and found a yummy ice cream shop. Yep, that’s ice cream twice in one day. While on vacation….

welcome to palm springs

Our dear friends, the Tendlers, invited us to join them for a vacation in Palm Springs. What a treat! We were so excited to get away and looked forward to time with friends. 
Here we go….
We arrived just in time for dinner and the Tendlers picked out a great Mexican restaurant for us. We met at Los Arcos and felt like vacation was officially underway! After dinner we hit the pool and I don’t think the girls dried off for 4 days straight!
The three girls played beautifully together the entire trip. I was so grateful for that and it made for the most relaxing trip. Connie and Mitch are super relaxed and have the same love of dining out that we do so we all meshed easily.Â
