Photos from Palm Desert

We visited my mother-in-law and one of my brothers-in-law in Palm Desert. We took a hike to Indian Canyons and we took a lot of pictures – it was beautiful and a nice place to hike with wide trails and a stream running down the middle of the canyon. I also took a pic of […]

Photos from our trip to Palm Desert

We drove out to Palm Desert last week to visit with Aviva’s mom and her brother and family. We took the dogs – our dog sitter couldn’t watch our dogs at the last minute. That’s not bad – we’ve brought them before, we get a room that allows pets at the Best Western and use […]

Palm Desert (with pics and a video of course!)

We visited Aviva’s mom and her boyfriend; we figured we were due a long weekend away from the valley. So we bundled up Iggy and Jett, loaded the Prius and took off. The drive was easy – we left on Saturday and hit no traffic – what a nice change for LA… We had a […]

Weekend in Palm Desert

Lily doesn’t like dogs. They’re dirty, she says – they smell and they’re dangerous. After this weekend, Aviva’s mom changed her mind a little bit. She agreed we could bring our new puppy Iggy to her house as long as we brought his “cage,” a metal and plastic fence that can be shaped in many […]

A bunch of pictures taken on my Blackberry phone

Just a bunch of pictures I took with my Blackberry over the last month or so; no one category deserved a separate post, so here’s a gallery instead.

Pictures from Palm Desert

We drove out to Palm Desert to visit Aviva’s mom and her boyfriend Dave.Â They’re snowbirds – they spend the winter in Palm Desert and the summer outside Detroit. We walked on El Paseo on Thursday (lots of closed stores, not a good sign for the economy), and walked around Palm Springs on Saturday (the […]

Palm Desert, CA, March 21 – 26

Aviva and I had to expend some effort to get to Palm Desert this year. We originally had a flight through Dallas on March 20th, but that flight got canceled so they put us on the later, non-stop flight. Weather in Chicago canceled that flight. American put us in a Delta flight on the 21st, […]
