Adventures in Palm Springs...and beyond!!


I am very fortunate to have a husband that loves to travel as much as I do!! I'm also grateful for our shared sense of adventure!! We had gotten cheep tickets to Palm Springs back in August. Of course in August you don't know what the weather will be like in December...but we took a chance!! Well as we prepared to leave, our AccuWeather web site didn't share very good news...rain!! To go or not to go, that was the question...well as you can see we opted to go and take our chances!! Upon arriving the weather was fairly nice so we were able to get our first round of golf in...by the end we were a little chilled!! On Friday we thought that we would wake up to rain and found that it was actually very nice out! So we got our 2nd round of golf in. (side note-my best round ever...with 2pars and a birdy on the back nine!!) We knew that the rain was on the way so we left...and headed to Shane's friends place in LA to help them with their Christmas Party!! (Apologies to Aunt Sandra and Paul we wish we had more time but it was a last minute decision!!) We arrived at Greg's in time to help with party prep!! They were awesome hosts and put on a great party!! We enjoyed some good wine, great food and made some new friends! We were very glad that we went...it turned out to be a fabulous little get away!!
