Sunday night ~ July 31, 2011

Happy 26th Birthday to my oldest grandchild, Amanda!  It seems like yesterday you were an adorable baby and now  you are a beautiful grown-up woman!

We continued on down 99 today for most of the drive, safely arriving in Palm Springs.  We drove in to the park on Gene Autry Trail and then turned onto Dinah Shore Drive.  It's a nice park, not many people here and no drive throughs but they told me to just park across two spots (like it was a pull through) and they would just charge us for one site!  How NICE is that!!  There is a gated grassy area near us, very clean, for the girls to run off leash and play in.  It's so nice to have that as it's rocky around the RV spots.......with cement pads for the RVs to park on. 

 A lady who lived here for 5 years made this dog area behind her site; she doesn't live there now so the park can let their guests use it.  It is the ONLY grass in the park for dogs to go potty on.........a real plus for dog owners and their dogs

So far, no partying people within our hearing or sight!  :)

It rained off and on most of our trip today.  Being from OR, I didn't mind the rain at all and I'm sure all the area can use it. 

The road today was in MUCH better shape than the last couple days so we didn't get shook, rattled and rolled as much as we had previously....which was a NICE change.  The pick-up does ride better with the RV attached than it does without it but at it's best, it's still NOT like riding in the van was!

  1. You are so close but not quite in Vegas. Enjoy AZ I highly recommend taking some time to go to the Museum of Musical Instruments MIM and maybe a side trip up to Cave Creek.

  2. I love palm trees--they are just so out of the ordinary for me! I was in CO this past weekend and saw mountains, too. I love the sight of them, but wouldn't want to live in them during the winter ;-)
