Valerie's mom has been visiting for a few days, so yesterday we took her to Palm Springs to sight-see and ride the Tram. As you can see in the pictures, Doug came along as well. He was our navigator and showed us a few neat things (like the Dinosaur Park & the Vegan Restaurant). He also taught us the unique skill of sledding on snow without a sled!

I love the mountains and pines, so this get-away was a real blessing!! The sun was out, and the temperature was perfect with very little wind...even at the top of the overlooks. Valerie and I have been wanting to take the tram together for months now, so it was a special adventure for us, and I think her mom also thoroughly enjoyed herself.
