Palm Springs - Long weekend trip

We went to Cabazon to see the life size stone dinosaurs and followed it up with a trip to Palm Springs over the Memorial day weekend.

There are over 800 photographs to check and edit and after an almost non stop drive back yesterday was too tired to even wake up and go do Yoga this morning.

Did a quick glance through all the photographs for one good snap to share for this post and here it is..

There were 4 hummingbirds outside the kiosk on top of the Palm Canyon parking lot. Two of them were doing aerial acrobatics and Kissing? Was lucky enough to get this shot.

and yes, finally got the 70-200mm f2.8 L to close out the camera bag! This picture was taken with that lens set to 200mm.

There are some really cute pictures of our own two hummingbirds, which will be posted later!

Home office

Little One : Daddy can you make our garage into your office?

Me : What can we do in that office?

LO : We can turn our garage into a nail salon and you can do nails at home!

Me : But I don't know how to do nails and you cannot just change your garage into a nail salon. You need to go to nail school and get a certificate before you do nails or the government will stop you.

LO : What certificate?

Me : When you go for hair cut do you see the certificate in front of every mirror? That is the certificate from hair school. Same thing for nail school.

LO : What about make the garage a photo studio or a yoga place?

Me : What ?!

LO : We can change our living room carpet to hardwood and then take this carpet and put it in the garage and then make it a studio!

Me : Why do you want me to work in the garage so badly?

LO : So I don't want you to go to work in office.. if Amma and Paati (mom and grandma) can help you we can all work from the garage and no one has to go to office. Also if you are a car salesman, people will give you 100 dollars a day!

Me : Car salesman are not rich and no one gives you 100 dollars a day. You need to stop watching silly programs on Youtube from now on.

Later did tell San that we have a budding entrepreneur in our house! Such conviction that we can make a living out of our garage and multiple ideas within a few minutes including how to get the garage carpeted.

Very proud of this little girl and her enthusiasm. Wish I could turn the garage into a nail salon and do nails for her!

Action replay

Was going through the blog archives to see what we did last year same time.

Last year almost same week the same sequence of events .. this is unbelievable!

Cold from Jr. -> Little one -> parents with Jr. showing mild symptoms and quickly recovering in less than a day, the little one suffering through it for weeks and then the parents getting hit hard. The little one meanwhile is not learning no matter how many times we tell her not to touch her nose and rub things on her blankie or cough directly into daddy's open mouth just when he is trying to say "cover your mouth when you cough"!

This year, even the abnormally healthy me showing no sign of hospital visits or tablets for more than two months, got hit for two days. Still no hospital visit or tablets. So far only lot of water and sleep to recover! There is some saving grace there.

Guess from now on we have to get the sweaters and jackets out for a week or two in mid May as this weather has repeated two years in a row!
