Left for the desert at 8am with Kim, McCall, and 2 of her sweet friends, Louisa and Brooke. McCall wanted to celebrate her birthday this year with a "Desert Spa Girls' Weekend" and I was asked to go. It was a gorgeous drive out there (a little under 2 hrs) and, as you can see in the mirror haha, I was very happy to see my beloved windmills along the way:

When we got to the desert we dropped off our stuff in our gorgeous 3 bed/bath condo rt next to La Quinta Resort then went to lunch and to the La Quinta Spa with Kim's friend, Lori who lives out there (lucky). 

We all 6 got fabulous massages:

then lounged on the lawn for a while and chatted and read magazines:

then we all went to dinner at Mikado in the JW Marriott. That resort is so huge that they have a river running through the lobby bar and you can take a boat to dinner!!:

Dinner at Mikado was SO much fun! We all wore birthday hats and everyone would walk by and scream, and our chef was hilarious, and everything was delicious!:

Then we had fun waiting to take a boat back:

(Brooke was exhausted and she fell asleep in the hull of the boat haha)

Then we went back to the condo for cake & more celebrating in our "Party Bus":

And we all fell asleep by 11. Even me. That massage, after the the busiest few weeks I've had in years, knocked me out.
