It was a good deal (cheaper than all of us trying to go to Catalina Island) and we were looking for family-friendly which was definitely this place. Somehow also managing to feel quiet and spread out.

The five of us can still sleep in two beds, in one room, which won’t always be true.

The first night it seems like there is always some pillow fighting and jumping around crazy style.

 We ordered room serviceand birthday desserts to share
 swam, watched a movie or two, snuggled up, and got close (but did not touch) the cactus. As for the drive,we stopped in Cabazon and can you guess what we found a deal on? We also couldn’t help but stop to see the dinosaursof course they have seen Pee-wee’s Big Adventureand so this made sense. It felt spoiled, luxurious, and definitely a memorable birthday.
