nice getaway

dp and i had a lovely thanksgiving which started on wed with a day off. thursday we went to visit friends who are expecting (yay!) and then to another friends' place for dinner with their kiddos. it was all very lovely. then fri-sun we went off to palm springs for a short but nice getaway from our routine here and our love of fixing our home. we weren't sure what exactly to expect from our trip since all we knew of palm springs was relaxation, nice weather, pool, and beautiful scenary. we did get most of that (minus the pool, we went instead into the hot tub), but in addition, went hiking on san jacinto mountain and within coachella valley preserve. looking at these pics you'd never know that they were 20-30 minutes from each other...
