Laci's Surprise Birthday Party!

Spent the evening at Kati and Morgan's celebrating Laci's Birthday. Kati S. was able to keep this year's party a secret and so it was a surprise party! A fantastic evening with good friends, great food and great times!
Happy Birthday Laci!!!

Model Homes and flight home

Packed this morning, then headed to the condos right next door and looked at their model homes (3 types), these are really nice and not badly priced at $165K to $195K - except the condo fees were a bit high at $350/mth, although that covers everything, insurance, outside upkeep, pool, etc. It would be nice to own something in Palm Desert and fly down a few times throughout the year. We did however put our names in for a draw for a free condo - keep our fingers crossed that one of us will win.
After viewing the homes, it was back to the resort to enjoy some last minute time at the pool before having lunch and heading out to the airport.













I had a really good week with Mom and Dad in Palm Desert!
It was nice to get out of the cold into some sun, relax and
see some more sites - I even got a good tan started.
Thanks.
At the airport - heading home :(



The pilot did tell us it was lightly snowing in Calgary, and as we started our descent into Calgary through the clouds we couldn't see anything, but once we could - the whole plane just groaned - this is what we came home to - I wanted to jump on the next plane heading somewhere warm!!

UPDATE 25-Apr-2010:
And although I didn't jump on a plane right away, on Sunday we (Sue, George and I) did book our flight to Niagara Falls! Now I just have to wait until that trip comes along....

Shopping, Relaxing and Evening Resort Shots

Hit a few more stores this morning, Mom and I shopped while Dad got his haircut, checked out a party supply store (that we found out about last night at the street fair), spent the afternoon at the pool again (after 2 days of being slightly cooler - it was nice once again to be at the pool). Finished the day off by having another fantastic steak dinner and getting my stuff together to pack for the flight home tomorrow).

Dad and I took an evening walk to take some night time shots of the resort - it really is a very nice place they stay at when they are down there - I can see why they enjoy it so much.
