Girls gone wild - Palm Desert

I just returned from a girls' weekend in Palm Desert. In the initial planning, this was going to be a weekend with three good friends from USC. However, Jill couldn't make it so Sunday brought her 5-month old, Delaney, instead.

I had been to the desert and other road trips with Sunday on several other occasions during and after college. This was by far the most relaxing and low-key.

There were some similarities to our wild college days. We ate lots of bad road-trip food (Coco's, Panda Express, and Mario's) and of ice cream. We even played tennis, albeit a bit slower than in our younger years. And just like one time in college, we wheeled someone into a restaurant in a grocery cart, but it was Delaney, not some drunk friend. We stayed up past 2am Saturday night, just talking.

It was such a nice getaway for all of us. And Delaney was so excited for her first girls weekend that she sat up by herself for the first time!
