Palm Springs


Over the weekend Greg and I drove to Palm Springs to go see my "Costa Rica" Dad and his family. We had so much fun!!! On Saturday morning we woke up and went to Elmer's for a great breakfast. Once we were full we went downtown and walked around. It is the cutest little town...so colorful. After goofing around downtown and stopping to get some delicious See's suckers we headed to Indian Canyon to check out the oasis...


It was gorgeous. There were so many palm trees.


As we were walking around I discovered the coolest thing ever... pussy willows! I always thought they were something different. My dad showed me how to make them fly off. I was fascinated as you can tell..


After we headed out of the Canyon we drove to the outlet malls to do a little shopping and this was our view....


That night we went out to eat at a great Mexican restaurant in downtown Palm Springs with everyone, we laughed our heads off and Uncle Mike had a lot of fun with his big brother. We had a blast :)


The next day we went hiking ...


I can't remember the name of the canyon but supposedly it is where they filmed part of Star Wars. We started hiking out in the canyon above then we gradually worked our way up.

and saw this gorgeous view...

The descent down was the coolest part.






It was a gorgeous hike. We loved Palm Springs it was a fun little trip. So many memories came back to me while we were there, I lived there when I was little for five months. It was fun for the Montez's to finally meet Greg. And to top everything off it was great to be able to talk to Greg for four hours straight on the way home... I love that guy.
