Family vacation

Spring break for Matt. I really needed a spring break too, so we decided to go on a little vacation. Our go-to plan is usually to go to Disneyland. We didn't plan ahead enough to get cheap airfare. So we decided to drive. I was so excited and took Friday off of work. We drove to Mesquite on Thursday night. We were so happy to be able to spend the night with Matt's dad. He took us out to buffet breakfast (I love that!) We left from Mesquite Friday afternoon and headed out to Palm Springs.

We had been told that there was a shorter way to go to Palm Springs. We would cut across the desert instead of taking the freeway (or motorway as the GPS calls it). Unfortunately we didn't have the correct directions, and our shortcut was probably an hour or so longer than the long way. It was an interesting ride, we went places we have never been before. I think we even saw the town that the movie CARS was modeled after.

We finally made it into Palm Springs and we went out to dinner with Ray and Joan (Matt's Grandparent's). We had some pretty good Mexican food and i was just loving the weather.

The plan had been to go to Disneyland on Saturday. I was so tired of driving and I was ready to just play by the pool, so that is what we did on Saturday. We slept in and played around in Palm Springs. It was so much fun to go swimming! The weather was great. We had to be careful and not stay out to long because we were going to get sunburned. We played outside just the right amount of time - no sunburn.

Then, before I realized what was happening, it was Sunday and time to drive home. OH, I wish I was still on vacation.
