Our Palm Springs Trip

 So yesterday was Tuesday, and after KR's Bible study in which he was teaching, we packed up and left for Palm Springs. It was a very nice drive. Traffic was not bad. We wanted to find a place for lunch, and thought about the place that Bill Wickwire really likes call Al Marisol, but it was closed on Tuesday. So we ended up going to Lulu's café on the main drag. 

And after lunch we went to the hotel Rowan. We are using the voucher we got at the SBCHC fundraiser several months ago the hotel is in the middle of town. It is a seven story high-rise in a very nice place. The lowest room goes for over $350. We have a room number 364 overlooking the city of Palm Springs.

We were able to check in early. We put our bathing suits on and went up to the rooftop pool. It was very nice. We took several swims and several little naps. We were trying to figure out where to go for dinner, and ended up at Sherman's bakery and delicatessen. It was absolutely amazing. The desert showcase was so marvelous that I wanted to buy a piece of everything. I ended up getting a lemon bar and KR gotApple Studel To Go.

We came back to the hotel and went to bed pretty quick after reading a little bit of the Bible.

Wednesday

The hotel had coffee from 630 to 10 so we were up and got some coffee. The tram does not start running until 10 AM so KR thought we should go to the Taquiz Canyon interpretive Center. We went and the hike was only a mile long but it would take us too long and besides we were not sure how our knees and hips would hold up for the hike later.

We drove up to the tramway and parked her car. We got our tickets by attorney in our vouchers. We got on the first tram at 10 AM. Outside on the balcony we ate a little bit of our leftover before our hike to Round Valley.   The beginning was pretty easy, and then there was a lot of snow on the ground. I hiked with tennis shoes and KR had hiking boots. I should've worn some kind of hiking boots. There was a lot of slipping and sliding all around. According to my watch, we hiked 8 miles in four hours. I was exhausted. After the hike we got on the tram and came back down. We drove home and arrived by about 6 PM.

Kurt had taken care of the dog yesterday and this morning he went to school, Corrina came by and walked Angel. Kurt went to work at 4 PM and since we were home by six Angel was not home too long by herself. We clean up the car and I took a shower and went to bed. I have to work tomorrow early. Darn!!!!
