Palm Springs Mini Dessert Vacation

We found a really Great GROUPON for LaQuinta Resort in Palm Springs. So we decided to close Peter's Birthday week by heading out for a little Mini Dessert Vacation.

Since Nico fell asleep when we were 30 mins away from the Resort, we decided to go drive through JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK.

We got to see it RAIN in the dessert as we were driving in...which really cooled things off and made it walkable.
Nico WAS HOT! We got Nico a Hippie shirt at the JOSHUA TREE STORE so his skin wouldn't burn off!

We stopped at a LOOK OUT at the Highest point in the Park. There were these crazy BEEs that were attracted to the air-conditioner fluid that dripped from the cars...I was super scared that they were going to sting me or Nico!!
Then we stopped at a little trail on our way out of the PARK. It was actually walkable since it had just rained. It was actually kind of nice.

THEN we got on the road and headed to our RESORT!!! Where we stayed Sunday Night and All Monday...hanging out by the pool, eating, soaking in the RAYs and the HOT WATER!





By 5pm the Next day...we were all ready to go HOME!!! to our cooooolllllll and refreshing HOME!!
We went from: to:
