Mini Vacation

I have decided I am a fan of year round school. You go to school for a couple months and right when you need a break, you are off for a month AND right when you are ready for the school routine to return (AKA kids are driving you nuts), school starts again..... I LOVE it! Taylor is off this month and with not too much longer before our baby is born I have declared the month of March mini vacation month. Thanks goodness for Timeshare points!

1st stop: Palm Springs.
It wasn't really warm outside but the pool was heated and that made it plenty enjoyable for the kids. The resort has a great pool area for kids including a waterslide.

Not pictured but Taylor did go down the adult water slide 1 time. Tyler and I were pretty impressed.
She has certainly turned into a brave girl.

Taylor wanted swirl ice cream after seeing it on the pool side menu after the pool side restaurant had closed. Luckily we found Golden Spoon.

We went to a Discovery Children's Museum which I have decided are the best places to go while on vacation with kids. Most cities have them and the kids love them.
Andy loved the ball track thing.








Just in case the swimming and running around a museum were not enough to wear out the kids before bed, we took advantage of the sport court to suck out the last bit of energy they had so that bed time would be a breeze. It worked!
Everyone was a fan of playing basketball except Ashlyn. I'm not sure what she would rather have been doing but obviously playing basketball is not her thing.
We had a great little getaway and are looking forward to another one in a couple weeks.
