"Spring Break in Palm Springs"

There are only three requirements for Spring Break-

1. Hot, Sunny Weather
2. Fun
3. Tan Lines

We accomplished all of the above in Palm Springs! We went with our good friends the Searles and we did have a fun time. The weather was a great, very warm 85-90 degrees. Which made us appreciate pool time even more. The minute the sun rose (7 AM), the kids changed into their swimsuits to go swimming and would not get out of the pool until sundown (6:30 PM). By the time bed time rolled around the kids were exhausted and fell into bed. This made it perfect for the parents to go to dinner and play cards. We stayed at the La Quinta Resort and it was beautiful with all the gorgeous spring flowers everywhere you looked plus the occasional cactus garden, who knew the flowers grew so well in the desert. One of the hi-lights of the trip was hanging out with my good friend Gwen Stefani!!!! We became close when Payton shared her Oreo cookies with her young son Kingston. Yes, she was there with her husband Gavin Rossdale (and Nanny) at the kiddie pool. And yes, I was star struck. Malisa tried to take a picture of Payton and I with Gwen in the back ground but, Payton would not cooperate (dang-it!!!) But, I did manage to take an awful one with my cell phone. If you look really close, she is the one with the wide brimmed white hat, the guy next to her is Gavin and the girl in the pink shirt is the nanny! The kids kept coming up to us to sneak a peek of the "Holla Back Girl". We also spent time talking to An Australian Actress Bec Cartwright who is married to Tennis Pro Layton Hewitt. I didn't know who she was till I googled her, she even won Australian's version of "Dancing With the Stars". That's why you always hang out at the kiddie pool, you never know what star you are going to run into!

We did have an awesome time in Palm Springs. And yes, we did get those tan lines. We can't wait till next year, maybe I should ring Gwen to make sure we book the same time!
