Rancho Mirage for a quick get-away

It's amazing how a quick trip out of town can renew the spirit.  We escaped to Rancho Mirage for an overnight stay and went on a special House Tour of Sunnylands.  Can I just live there please?

 The first thing we did (after lunch) was go to the Palm Desert Museum where they had a very emotional photo exhibit about racism in America.  Oh boy, kind of sad so I really enjoyed our walk in the museum gardens afterwards.

Vince pondering what we just saw...

We checked in to the Omni Rancho Las Palmas.  A nice golf resort.  This was the view from our room.

 We had dinner across the street at Acqua at Riverwalk. I thought about my friend Steve who works for Cinemark.

 Dinner was yummy.

Sunset was beautiful.

 The next day we had breakfast (Blue Ember, delish) and then shopped in the Paseo for a short time before going to our tour of the Sunnylands Home.  I want to live there!  You couldn't take photos inside of the house but the garden was very photographic.

 Welcome to our desert hide-away!
