Palm Desert

The kids and I joined got to have an overnight stay out in Palm Desert, thanks to Grandma Finlay who was at a conference and willing to share a room with us.  While Margaret was installed as 2nd Vice President of SCAG (The nation's largest planning organization), I kept the kids out of the way and busy.
The putting green was a fun distraction when it was too windy for the boat tour.
The hotel grounds were beautiful and fun to explore.
And the kids especially loved the many rainforest birds housed there as well.
Before heading back we went hiking in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountatins.
Luckily in May it was still cool enough, and we actually just finished the hike before a rainstorm blew in.
Preston seemed to enjoy the hike as well.  At least he slept right through it.
We loved the sand creatures by the visitors center
And the hands-on learning as well.
