Enjoying Palm Springs

In case people are curious how our vacation is going...

Our flight was quite uneventful although long - thank goodness for ni-hao kai-lan DVD. Owen adapted to the time change like a champ. He woke up 7am (EST) and did not go bed until 8pm (PST) - He really is living up to the motto ... sleeping is for the weak! It was a bit chilly the first couple days here (60's) but tomorrow should warm up. The sky is so blue and the mountains in the background are neat to see.

My parents came out yesterday afternoon so we just spent Sunday relaxing and checking out the shops of Palm Springs. What I didn't anticipate is finding our souvineer already - we walked into a gallery where this photographer had some of his work up - very cool. All his pics are taken at night and in the picture below, the white lines in the background is actually the path of the stars that travel. He takes great pains to provide just the right light to get it to light up. (the picture below does not do it justice)
We visited the 'zoo' out here but I think the adults got a kick out of it more than Owen - he nodded off for a short nap!
