Since I didn't have the vacation time to make a trip home for the holiday's in 2005, David and I decided to take a short trip down to Palm Springs to visit my long time friend Jessie Balentine and his partner John McAvoy at there brand new (to them) house. They've purchased this house with the intention of renting it out for weekly rentals. So if you are interested click the links at the bottom of this post.
We started the Christmas weekend (and I have to first say that it was a bit strange spending Christmas in a place where it is sunny and 80 degrees, but I won't knock it!) with a visit to the Living Desert Botanical Garden and Zoo on Christmas Eve. Quite an amazing space, but I did feel sorry for some of the animals that didn't have ENOUGH space. The giraffe's had plenty of space though, and the best animal pictures I took were of them.
Then Christmas Eve night, Jessie & John had a small cocktail party with a few choice friends of theirs and ours. Topped off the weekend with an INCREDIBLE Christmas Day dinner that the two of them threw together and then left on Monday to do the 9 hour drive back to San Francisco (ugh!).
I'd love to spend any holiday in Palm Springs, but Chrstmas time with good friends was the best!!
