Lindsey's 30th in Palm Desert

This last weekend we headed to Palm Desert to celebrate Linds' 30th. Thanks to Grandma Dottie and Papa and Grandma Contreras it was able to happen for Erik and I! We definitely needed the time after not seeing each other much these last few months. Thanks guys! Mark rented a Limo bus so none of had to drive anywhere the whole weekend. It was SO fun! Our driver Russ, was one of the sweetest old guys I've ever met....he was awesome.

We arrived into Palm Desert Friday night around 8PM, checked into our hotel and went straight to dinner at No. Da. Te....an awesome sushi place in the desert. We were there last year so it was fun to get to go back and see Shin, the owner and eat amazing sushi. We ate tons of sushi and drank lots of Saki(well, the boys drank lots of saki!.....I think Mark even drank TOO much Saki...yikes, he was not feeling good!) Lindsey's birthday cake was awesome.....a Starbucks cake! Good idea, Les! It turned out adorable.

Saturday we woke up, did a quick get ready and went and had breakfast on the patio at the hotel, it was a beautiful morning! The boys had golf lined up for the day so us girls decided to head over to El Paseo for some shopping and lunch. It was fun to get to meet and hang out with some of Linds friends that we've heard about....one of them, Jennie was on the bachelor 3 years ago with Brad Womack and was one of the last 2 girls left.....he didn't pick either of them! So it was funny to hear what she had to say about him. It was especially funny because he's all over the tabloids right now because he was just the recent bachelor again. Fun day with the girls!

Saturday night we went to a nice little italian restaurant. It was fabulous! Great company, food and wine! That night when we got back to the hotel Linds, Les and I had some good sister "laugh" time in the bathroom(we always pick the funniest places to hang out)....I just found Lindsey's diary from 1990 so we had fun laughing hysterically about boys Lindsey thought were "cute, nice and neat!" I love our sister bond time. It was so much fun!

Sunday morning we were all SO ready to get back home to our babies! We packed up and were headed out by 11AM.....the bus ride home was pretty quiet! The girls knew it was game time with the kiddos when we got home so we pretty much slept the whole time...it felt great! The boys watched sports. Made the drive seem pretty quick, which is always nice after a long weekend. Thanks Mark and Linds for a wonderful "getaway" weekend! Happy 30th Linds....cheers to our 30's!!!
