I haven't blogged about our vacation up until now because our pictures weren't uploaded. This morning Chris put them on my computer so that I could finally share about our fun time!

We stayed at the "El Morocco Inn"(hi Bruce!) in Desert Hot Springs which is about 15 miles from Palm Springs. It really was one of the most enjoyable places we have been and we have been to a handful of very nice hotels and spas. The atmosphere was so relaxed and personable and four nights was almost long enough but not quite! A couple of the days we just lounged around the pool and enjoyed the sun and one of the days we ventured out to Palm Springs and took the Air Tram up the mountain. I'll put more pictures up on the next post. One of the things that I wished that we had planned better for was the trip up the mountain. At the base of the mountain it was probably 80 degrees and at the top it was about 35 with snow. If we had planned better we would have brought warm clothes and gone cross country skiing or taken a little hike. Since we didn't have the right gear we only went outside for a couple of pictures and to see the incredible view. There was also a nice cafe and restaurant at the top where we enjoyed a cheese plate and a glass of wine and enjoyed the view from the warm indoors.

We HIGHLY reccomend the inn where we stayed and plan on going back there again next year if possible. We couldn't have done it without the help of Grandma and Grandpa Seelye and my parents who took turns watching Anders. He didn't even notice we were gone which was a little sad but mostly a relief!












I'm going to put up some more pictures of our trip in some following posts but as you can see it truly was a luxurious setting!
