Palm Springs Getaway Girls!!

My dad and Nancy were so gracious to host me and the girls, my 2 sisters, my brother, my bro-in-law and my niece for a few days at their house near Palm Springs. We spent lots of time swimming at their house, relaxing and spending time with each other. One day, we took the aerial tram up to Mt. San Jacinto State Park to do some hiking and to see the beautiful view of the city. The girls had a great time, but we missed Mark and my sister Angie and her family and Uncle Tommy!

We also got to go to Sea World while the fam was here in town. We had so much fun! We were literally there from 12-11! We saw almost every show they had, held the starfish, went to most of the exhibits, played at the Bay of Play, rode some rides, watched the fireworks, listened to the live bands, laughed until our sides hurt and just enjoyed being together! I think that Sea World is truly a magical place for Ellie and Maddy--they just can't get enough of it, no matter how many times we go!
