Palm Springs weekend
Posted in Vacation on 11/19/2009 09:56 pm by debbie_kaLast weekend we went on a family trip to Palm Springs. We stayed at my cousin’s Westin timeshare and it was perfect! I wasn’t good with taking pictures but my mom took a lot of good ones in the pool.
We arrived on Friday at noon with just a enough time to scarf down some lunch and head to the golf course. I played surprisingly well for not golfing for so long and we even played the last 2 holes in the dark. (It gets dark so early these days!) On Saturday we woke up to loud howling winds. The boys headed to golf and the girls waited for it warm up. By 10am, the winds died down and the sun was out so we headed to the pool. The kids had so much fun. The pool was warm and they had a cool water slide that was faster than expected. The boys joined us after golf and it was nice to drink and have lunch out by the pool. After everyone took a nap, we started cooking our feast which included lamb chops, steaks, asparagus and lots of wine, vodka tonics and dr peppers.
It was fun playing games with the whole family too (my mom is surprisingly good at UNO and kept beating us). We also had an iPhone Line It up Tournament. I got everyone addicted and we all wanted to beat the high score. Sammy had me beat for a while but I was able to regain the title (I couldn’t let an 8 yr old have the high score on my phone!)
On Sunday my mom made some tasty porridge and we headed to the driving range with the kids. They all hit balls (except for Katie who was being grouchy and too loud for the golf course). Then Sing bbq-ed up some more lamb chops and we ate all the leftovers. Our family eats so well.
After packing up, we headed home. It was a quick drive! That might be because I slept the entire way home (thanks for driving P!). This weekend was the first time Katie slept in the bed with me (at home we have a strict policy where she does not sleep in our bed with us). I didn’t sleep too well with her though. She tossed a lot, kicked me in the face and pretty much hogged the whole bed. Why does such a small girl need so much room?!? I was worried about her sleeping habits when we got home but she did great and went back to sleeping in her own bed pretty easily.
Thanks again to Sing and Rosalie for inviting us out on this fun family trip. Next family vacation in Australia???
