Palm Springs

Marc and I took a much needed mini-vaca to Palm Springs last weekend -just the two of us! I was really looking forward to this as I realized just before we went that I haven't had more than an hour or two away from Caiden in 7 months -since our Cabo trip last October. Luckily we had my sister and her boyfriend, Dustin, come down to watch Caiden for the weekend! We are extremely lucky to have Sara so close...but not only that, to actually have her go to the full extent of watching our child for consecutive nights. I think it's even better for Caiden because, 1) He's able to spend lots of quality time with his aunt, and 2) Not have me around 24/7 to always have in his back pocket.

We stayed at The Parker Meridien Palm Springs, a crazy ridiculous hotel that is not only trendy but also one of the most unique hotels I've been to. There was a wedding at the hotel while we were there (one of the directors of Modern Family) so we saw celebrities, too! And there were some reality tv stars at the pool one day. We had a fun people watching weekend to say the least!

We went out to fabulous dinners, sat by the pool in 100 degree heat, slept in....and didn't have ANYONE to worry about except ourselves!

The hotel has secret little hiding spots to just chill around every corner of their grounds.

And the food at this hotel was off the hook. The place we went to breakfast each morning, called Norma's, served some of the most delicious breakfast food I've had.

We really can't say thank you enough to Sara and Dustin for watching Caiden. We know it's a lot to ask and how much work it is...hopefully we just convinced them to wait a few more years to have kids and enjoy their free life ;) We got lots of pictures and videos from them over the weekend. Here are a few.

First though, here is one of Caiden giving us a big kiss through the iPad.
