Dessert Hot Springs

Slade and I went to Dessert Hot Springs (In California) for a few days. We stayed at Hope Springs - which is a small place with 10 rooms, adults only. We had looked at going here on a vacation many years ago, I think Slade had read a NYT's review of it.

Then several years ago Maud (Slade's sister) sent us the website for a small place she and her hubby were buying with some friends - same place. So, it was great to have Maud & Lucas come meet us for lunch at Hope Springs. They brought us lunch and we had a few hours to hang out and chat.

We worked on perfecting our ability to DO NOTHING. Well maybe lay in the sun and read books, but to be as lazy as we can during the day and end it going out to dinner. We went to some great restaurants in Palm Springs (a 10 min drive). The funniest thing to me is that being in the dessert the best food I had was the Alaskan King Crab - I got some in almost every restaurant we went to.

We are firming up our summer plans and look forward to the many adventures we have coming up. Spring is still taking it's time to get going. The good news is a late spring usually means a late start to fall.
