Palm Desert

June 18-20, Saturday to Monday, Jono and I went to Palm Desert for a much needed getaway. Between both of our work schedules, church callings, family events, and cancelled United Airlines flights, it took a LOT of planning and re-planning. And after Jono drove for 6 hours in the middle of the night to get home from San Francisco the night before and finally arriving at 4 am the day we left, it finally all came together.

We arrived at the JW Marriott on Saturday afternoon, explored the hotel, ate a late lunch, and enjoyed the pool. That night we got all fancied up and went to Morton's Steakhouse to celebrate Jono's birthday.

Sunday we went to church at his cousin's ward and then came back to the hotel pool and relaxed the rest of the day.

Monday morning we golfed at the mini golf course right outside our room. We golfed 18 holes, complete with sand pits and water streams. At least Jono can say he went golfing while we were there :)




The belly makes golfing a little difficult...

There were birds in the hotel lobby that would say hi to people passing by.


After golfing we packed up our stuff from the room and then went to the pool for a couple more hours. Then we drove to Jono's cousin's house and hung out for a couple hours before driving back home.

Quick trip, but I loved having Jono all to myself for those three days.
