Palm Springs revisited

Two weeks ago, my Mom & I undertook a trip to Palm Springs. We "hitch-hiked" a bit as Larry was also going there but for a different purpose. We flew down with him and he helped us out with our rental car & getting our luggage. Then he left us to our own devices! His visit was all business, and I didn't think we'd get to see much of him. It was Larry's idea that I should accompany Mom to visit Palm Springs. After a 5 year absence from her favorite vacation spot, it was time to revisit. So, here we are, on the WestJet flight looking forward to our first glimpse of this beautiful desert city.

We checked in at the Royal Sun where Mom and Dad stayed for a couple of winters. As you can see, the weather is lovely, the sun is shining and we are warming up in the sunshine!

We enjoyed a couple of breakfasts at the Indian Canyon Golf Course. It's such a beautiful wide-open view from inside the restaurant. If the weather had been a bit warmer, it would have been great to eat outside. This day the wind was breezing through the eating area so we opted to eat inside.

On Saturday, Kerry and Jo drove in from San Diego where they are spending 2 months doing MDS work. Accompanying them for the ride was a couple from Langley, BC and so we joined them for lunch a long with Rob & Diane. We had a great time visiting. We had lunch at Maxcey's and supper later at Mimi's.
