As a break from “traveling” we called Palm Springs our home for a week. We’ve been in an extended stay hotel with kitchen, so we’ve been cooking our own meals, which is a nice change after being on the road. I’ve been doing lots of school work and Jason has been getting a lot of work done too – especially after a week of not being online during the cruise.
We really like it here. I could definitely spend the winter here…no ocean, but it is sunny and beautiful.
We spend some time at the pool. Even went swimming one day! I love seeing palm trees and mountains.
I took some afternoon walks in neighborhoods. I’m trying to get in some activity everyday – I definitely gained weight on the cruise. Almost all the streets are lined with palm trees.
I love the desert plants in the yards. And, I’d say 95% of the house are simple one story homes like this one.
In the local parks there is quite a bit of landscaping. It can be easy to forget you are in the middle of the desert. I love that plants are blooming in December.
There’s an aerial tram that goes into the mountains. Here’s the view where you buy tickets – I thought for sure Jason would want to back out, but we went.
It was a two and half mile ride taking 10 minutes. We knew it would be colder up there (~8500ft), but we weren’t expecting snow!
And here’s the view from the top of the mountain.
