Proof that we're really here.

These pictures took a long time to upload, thanks to a slow connection. That being said, commentary will be kept to a minimum. We're having fun, we love it here, but need to go home tomorrow. Sigh. We've had a great trip, but it will be nice to be back in the city... and Shake Shack opens in a few days. :) In no particular order... some pictures from the last few days.
Cactus.

Pool #1, by the main lodge. There is a large waterfall to the right, cascading down one of the several "mountains" of boulders.

Pool #2, at the spa. My favorite (extra cushy cushions on the lounge chairs, not to mention the view).

My view, for most of our trip. :)

There are birds everywhere (and they start chirping quite early in the morning).

Prickly.

Every sunset has been spectacular.

Cacti here are like palm tress in California. I think they are actually quite beautiful. Some of them are huge.

We watched a "rodeo" (only about a half hour) last night at a nearby ranch, with an outdoor "cookout" afterwards. Lots of fun, and yummy food.
Los Cedros. The sunset was beautiful.
Dinner Monday night @ Los Cedros - modeled after a Moroccan Citadel.

One of the many beautiful horses at Los Cedros Horse Ranch
Reception Tuesday night (pre-Cowboy cookout)

Dinner Sunday night (this is my Anthropologie dress).

My new friend that I met during lunch on Monday. His girlfriend was with him as well. They followed each other around the entire time. Sweet.

What a great picture update and I loved your post below it too! Great details and then I got the pictures to go along with it. Looks like you guys are having an amazing time. And I LOVE the Anthropologies dress with the shrug and the earrings. Everything. How did the Ann Taylor dress work out?

Wow - What a beautiful and deserved break for my very hard working kids. I love the desert for short visits. The SPA I would have died for! Having a gourmet cook to prepare my meals...a dream come true! I would rate this an A+, and I wasn't even there!
Going home must have been hard, but that's an ok thing, in a way. Now you can absolutely appreciate the benefits, and necessity, of frequent breaks to refresh and renew. Hopefully you'll be able to do things like this often through the years.
