Palm Springs and Joshua Tree

1/365

Camera Roll-807

For New Year's we drove to to Palm Springs, one of my favorite places. Five of us in a hotel room, even a very nice one at the Hyatt, isn't exactly relaxing at bedtime but our days were fun. We headed straight to the Living Desert Zoo where the girls both rode a camel together. They loved it. The next day we spent by the pool. Addie went down the water slide for 5 hours straight! We rang in the New Year at Mimi's for dinner, yes very classy, and I think we all crashed out waiting for Xavier to fall asleep in his dreaded pack-n-play by 8:30. We didn't even make it to New York New Year's!

Our final day we drove out to explore Joshua Tree. So gorgeous and cold (for us thin-skinned Californians).

Xavier was beside himself with excitement in the petting zoo. "Goh! Goh!" he would point and shout. Can you believe this kid can say uh-oh, ball, owl, goat and dog before Mama? Hrmph.
