vacation...ish

We got back this afternoon from Palm Springs after spending one night in a hotel downtown. We had wanted to go on a mini vacation for a while and found a great rate in Palm Springs. It actually wasn't horribly hot, which was surprising for this time of year. After checking in, we attempted to put Cam down for a nap. After failing miserably, we decided to take him to the pool (What? I shouldn't reward such behavior with a trip to the pool?? hehe!). He liked his new toy as well as watching the other kids.




Here are the two boys hanging out together on our balcony.



We later walked around downtown. Our hotel was right on the strip, so it made it nice and close to walk around the shops. After putting Cam down for bed, we ate dinner in our room. Chris had gotten Cheesecake Factory to go...mmmm. We took an early walk to Starbucks this morning, then later went to walk around the Palm Desert Marriott, a.k.a my old stomping grounds. You see, I've probably layed out at this pool a couple dozen times over the years. However I've only actually stayed in the hotel a few times. Throughout high school and college, my friends and I would sneak in and lay out. They have the nicest pool! It has been remodeled recently so it was even more beautiful.


(yes...I'm still occasionally using the Baby Bjorn. Cam might be slightly over the weight limit, but I still like using it with him. Chris said it looks funny with his loooong legs sticking out!)

After lunch we headed back. Overall, it was a nice time and a good chance to have a change of scenery for all of us. Was it a vacation? Hmmm...probably not. To Chris and I, vacation means lots of relaxing. It is pretty hard to relax with a baby. Would I do it again? Absolutely. It was great to get away and I love experiencing anything new through the eyes of Cameron.
