Goodby to Sunny California

This blog is so different to do than the one we did while we were in New York. There was so much to do every day that I needed to update every night to I could remember everything. Here, on the other hand, We do so much of the same thing every day that one blog will be plenty. In the morning when we get up the sun is shining (yes Virginia, there is sunshine somewhere every day!).
Dan sits in the sun (but not for very long) and works or studies for the morning. I get up when I feel like it and lay out until about noon or so. After getting showered and dressed we pick somewhere to have a late lunch every day. We pass this beautiful view of the golf course coming and going every day.
Some of the places we have picked to eat have been pretty bad. It's not fun to do that. But some of the last ones we have eaten in were great. We found the Old Town area of La Quinta and it had 7 different places to eat. We have had great meals since we have tried eating in these places. The first place was this one that is owned by Clint Eastwood. It is called the Hogs Breath Inn. He has one in Carmel, and this one. Some of the locals said that he comes up once in a while to check up on it and will stay for the evening and play the piano for a couple of hours. How fun would that have been?

We took one afternoon and went to the Temple in Redlands. It was small, but very unique. We really enjoyed visiting it.


Unfortunately the closest we came to seeing ol' Clint was this: Isn't this picture one from "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly? Or is it from "High Plains Drifter"? I don't remember .


Here we are taking advanatage of the last sun we will get today. It is hard to say goodby to a fun vacation. No matter where it was.
this one was great and the timing was perfect, as far as the weather was concerned. Mid to high 70's is great! In the summer it gets as hot as 120 degrees during the day. Records are even higher. NO THANKS!

Good-by palm trees and desert views. Hello Seattle and the north west weather tomorrow.
Love you all.
Ma and Pa
