Palm Springs

Our first stop was Lake Las Vegas, it's just outside of Henderson. You would never believe this place, it's in the middle of no where. It's amazing, it's so green and lush there. It's like this little Tuscan Village. We only spent one night there so we didn't get a chance to really enjoy it.

This is Ella, she has more energy than you could imagine. We had dinner at a place called Lucille's in Henderson. It was wonderful BBQ, it smelled just like Grandma Bernice's house. There was a live band there playing blues and Ella wanted to dance. It was so hilarious, she danced and danced!!

While in Palm Springs we went on the Palm Springs Aerial Tram. It was pretty scary, the floor of the gondola rotated. Cheryl was panicked and hated every minute of the ride.

We stayed in the most amazing place, the condo in La Quinta were beautiful. It was so nice to have warm temperatures. We even picked grapefruits off the trees down there. It was a gated community with 24 hour security so the kids got to go out and play on green grass. A welcome change from all the snow we have had here.

The pools were heated and salt water, which made for wonderful swimming. The kids could not get enough of it. They loved it, and it wore them out which was a bonus for us.
