Palm Springs 2011
...an unforgettable 'vacation'
We met up with John's parents, brother, wife and daughter in Palm Springs. John and I bought a little 4x6 trailer - loaded up and hit the road (if only I could start this sentence over). We stopped in Vegas and stayed on the strip at a Hilton Grand Vacation Club that was awesome! No casino, no smoking, no half nude people (that is to come), great pool, workout room, little grocery...lets just say FAMILY PERFECT! We met up with the Ackley's for a night of debacle - which was great fun and I am thrilled that I don't have pics of it.
Then, we hit the road AGAIN for Palm Springs. We rented a great house, great pool, found the perfect retirement community and house for g-parents and so it was a huge success. We ate dinner at this great Mexican restaurant downtown PS that had live music that the kids loved, really good food and just a great vibe.
Cruiser before the sickness began...and then the shit hit the fan or maybe the shit and the throw-up hit the fan or me or the floor or the table or the tub. Eventually, I just put them all in the tub or the shower for at least an hour every hour or so:) Not to mention we still had a 12 hour drive home. Carson was so sick we had to put a diaper on him (if poop, more poop and vomit and more vomit gross you out don't read my blog cause seriously people I have been up to my EYEBALLS in poop and vomit). Needless to say - we will NEVER NEVER EVER NEVER drive to California AGAIN...NEVER! I/We are so happy that John's parents will be moving out there but we need a bigger plane or better airport service - so I gotta work that out.
Okay, so the last night in Palm Springs John, Lisa and I (cause Lisa and I had had it with sick kids plus Scott was now sick at this point) went to a bar called Hunter's that was recommended by our friends. This is their uniform (yes up above) - I left the image small just in case young children haven't seen men in underwear (it could be worse as my husband likes to 'feel the air' so at least I didn't post a pic of him in his 'underwear'). Anyway, it was a gay bar and to be honest they played the BEST music, great drinks, it was clean, and for once John was groped.

oh Tash, that sounds AWFUL! I can't imagine all three sick at the same time and especially THAT kind of sick and to top it off not being in your own home. I am glad you shared the funny/not so funny/funny :) only funny because it was not me!
Love ya.
