Palm Springs Family Date: The Tram

Saturday Adelaide and I went to the Tram with our friend Rose. We went to lunch at Chipoltle where Addi fell in love with guacamole and chips. We then drove out to Palm Springs to the Tram and waited an hour for our tram up to the top of San Jacinto.

Once we got to the top of the mountain, at the Mountain Station, Addi enjoyed playing in the snow for the first time. As we went on a short trail, we kept adding more and more layers to Addi. She looked hilarious by the send of the time we got to the lookout! Once at the look out, we asked a couple if they would take a picture of us. Mind yo, Palm Springs has a huge gay community, and whenever Rose and I, or Davis and Adam do something together without our spouses, and especially if with the baby, we wonder what people are thinking! That's why we call it our Palm Springs Family date.

About the time we finished getting our picture taken and returning the favor, Addi was cold and absolutely finished! She cried the whole way back to the tram station, which, of course, is all the back up this windy, steep path. Rose, who is in way better shape than I am, ran up this steep windy path carrying all 35 lbs of Addi AND her own back pack. I was amazed and so jealous that she is in such great shape!

Once we were in the warm lodge waiting for our tram, Addi was happy again and ready for a good nap. She was all smiles and playful. The best part of the tram ride back was when Addi found this Mexican guy next to us and kept trying to grab his mexi-stache. SO FUNNY! He was super nice about it, laughed and would say 'precious baby'. So glad he was nice about it.

We got to the car and drove through downtown Palm Springs. We stopped at a candy shop, looking for a certain item for Valentines Day they didn't sell anymore... We were disappointed, but got some other yummy treats instead! We met up with our hubbies after their Priesthood meeting and that was the end to a wonderful Palm Springs Family date! Thanks Rose for playing with us!

After dropping Rose off, Adam and I dropped Addi at the sitters and we had a fun evening at the mall. We got Adam a beautiful suit that looked AMAZING. It fit perfectly and was a fantastic color! It's a little on the dressy side, but he's going to wear it for interviews and look FABULOUS. We then went to the Gap and got some new jeans for me, on clearance, they fit amazingly AND they were an additional 40% off! Also, so proud to say, I dropped a jean size!!! Woot woot!

To finish the evening off, we stopped by the new candy shop in the mall that Adam had just run a story about that morning. This place is AMAZING! They have all these candy bars that haven't been around in years, any type of taffy you can imagine and TONS of glass bottled sodas... Including random weird stuff like Bacon flavored and Buffalo Wings, but also I'd say up to a hundred different root beers! I'll definitely be going again to try some new ones! Last night I got the Death Valley root beer, but I wasn't feeling so great, so I'll Ber tasting it today. Review to come!

All in all, super fun day! Everyone got a great nights sleep last night too! Always a plus :-)
