Back from Palm Springs, parents have gone home and I am recovering from a stupid cold!
Why didn´t you warn us about Palm Springs! Weird weird people..it is like a melting pot of the US, haha. You have the crazy drunken women by the pool, big families, nerd golfers..Not sure if it was the hotel or actually Palm Springs?
We left pretty early last week Friday, after bout an hour east, we arrived at the infamous outmall close to Palm springs. While it wasn´t huge, shop wise it was pretty decent. James Perse, Tory Burch, Prada...not the typical shops you find at the outlet malls around here. Unfortunately it only had one really crapy food court so we only had a small bite. We manage to spend 4 hours here though, so I can only recommend it! Nice little break from driving, too.
After doing some research we booked ourselves into Las Palmas in Rancho Mirage, just a couple of minutes outside Palm Springs. Looked really nice online, was pretty expensive and it had great reviews online. Ha, what a let down! And it was sooooooooooooo busy, over crowded pool area is an understatement, For this price, we could have stayed at Hyatt or Marriott. I have realized there is a problem when travelling with a baby. Surely we want to book family friendly hotels, but without having one billion kids around us. Kind of a catch 22. If we go for a non family friendly hotel, well, who knows where we would end up. Lots of stairs? No prams allowed in the restaurant? I know for sure though, no more hotels with lots of kids activities, LOL.

| Downtown Palm Springs, what a disappointment. Nothing NOTHING to see. |

| All of a sudden these wind mills popped up along the road. Lots of them! |
I had the same feeling as coming to Vegas for the first time..what, this is it? Perhaps because we had picked such a super busy hotel I felt I was in Mallorca or something. It wasn´t even as hot as I had expected!

Jag minns att vi satt i bilen och läste om Palm Springs i guideboken men vi åkte aldrig dit. Jag ser från din bild att det är riktigt mycket folk där vid poolen. Hi hi jag kan förstå problmatiken med att ni vill ha barnvänligt men ändå inte ha fullt med andra ungar kring er. Ja det blir ju verkligen ett catch 22 moment. Minns att det fanns väldigt mycket stora vindsnurror i södra CA då vi åkte till Joshua Park.
Kram!
Haha just your luck. But do you know what I see, lots and lots and lots ad lots of blue sky. Really nice!
You spoilt brats dont even see that anymore ;)
Desiree, ni missade inget. Och det var lågsäsong nu men packat med folk! Och ja, bara far att man har barn själv så vill man ju inte alltid ha hundra andra barn runt sig, haha Kram
Gerald: haha, well, we do see it. But the kids ruined it!
