We went to Palm Springs last winter for a weekend and completely fell in love with it!

After our first trip to Palm Springs, we went again in May and took Sophie with us this time!  We mostly had R&R at the hotel, but we ventured out to the dog park and to Lake Hemet, which is a beautiful lake in the mountains!
