The last time I was in Utah was in November 2005 and I had no idea that Arches National Park was even a thing, let alone the insane wonder of it all. This time we went to Zion National Park and it was a whole separate level of awesome.
Mik’s dad & stepmother live in St. George, Utah so we drove out for a little family gathering over Christmas. Here are pretty pointless photos from the drive there!
What we thought was going to be a standard day-trip to go wine tasting in Los Olivos ended up including a last minute overnight booking at the Hamlet Inn… We were already members at Evan’s Ranch and Byron, but nestled directly between the two is Presqu’ile Winery. We decided to give them a go based on the recommendation from Andrea over at Byron Winery.
We went to The Spring Resort for a weekend birthday getaway and fell in love! So quiet, peaceful and relaxing… The hosts are super professional and catered to our every whim. Most places in Palm Springs are overcrowded, a little ragged and loud; but at The Spring Resort we often had the pools to ourselves, met very kind travelers and found all of the amenities to be exactly as expected. We stayed in Room 9, which is at the end of the pool and comes with a hammock around the corner… highly recommended!
Writing every day about work is ridiculous. I didn’t think that through. Instead: photos of wonderful things around Santa Barbara!
French is one of my favorite languages and cache-cache is one of my favorite French words. Je ne sais pas… c’est romantique, mais pour les enfants.
