My father-in-law, Harold, made the drive out from Arizona to finally check out the RV and to see us before we hit the road again. He has just been dying to see it, and any excuse to come over to Palm Springs was good enough for him.

So we had an action-packed weekend in store for him and his short time with us.
We began with a trip up the Palm Springs Aerial Tram from the desert floor
to over 8000' elevation.
It was wild to traverse up the steep mountain side, leaving the desert behind and land in a winter wonderland of HUGE ponderosa pines and lots of snow.
It was a hot, eighty-plus degrees down below and a cool 50 degrees on top.
We spent some time cooling down and checking it all out before heading down.

Saturday night was a night out on the town. We had drinks at a nice Bistro
before heading to the movies.

See, we are just around the corner from the IMAX Theater.
So we gave the big screen 3-D images a go.
Alice in Wonderland was a blast... and the 3-D glasses were quite the fashion statement.

Sunday morning was AWESOME.
Harold met us at the RV Park and we headed to Sherman's NY Deli for an early breakfast.
We got some seriously good food, as Sherman's only knows how to do.
Then it was off to the Country Club for a round of golf.

It was great fun to finally play with my father-in-law, the consummate golfer.
We played as a foresome with two brothers from Ohio.
We each shot Par once or twice, I shot eleven for a hole and we laughed and had a good time.

With the day half gone and hunger setting in, we headed to Mama's Soul Food, or as Harold called it, "home cookin'."
It was all about barbeque ribs, collard greens, fried okra and potato salad. YUM!

Harold left Sunday afternoon with a full belly and, hopefully, the memory of a great weekend.
Thanks, Harold for coming out to see us!
