Last Day in Palm Desert, January 5, 2017

Hard to believe it was our last day in Palm Desert

But I did wake  up in time for another beautiful sunrise

But after breakfast time to pack up and leave 

Our first stop was the Palm Desert branch of Palm Springs Art museum and sculpture garden

Above is a couple of Chihuli vases part of a really interesting glass exhibit

The sculpture garden was lovely as well

We might have gone to the Palm Springs main art museum but it was closed for a film festival event  and sadly this small one didn't have a gift shop...

Sandy had read about this exhibit of the art of actor, Anthony Hopkins in the local paper so although it wasn't officially opening Friday, we were able to go to the preview for collectors but prices were too high for us.  Even the catalogue which was fascinating about his life was $250!!!! 

 Next we went to Indio to for a free lunch at Jackalope Ranch thanks to vouchers I got for an update about my timeshare. 

 We sat outside in the most beautiful setting and it was such a nice day

Lunch was delicious

 Then we were off to airport to return car and check in-our flight was a little late but this is a lovely small airport and we had a lovely courtyard in which to wait and enjoy a glass of wine

We had a nice flight home again scoring an empty seat between us and actually roomy seats-Westjet is doing better with me currently than Air Canada, and a direct two hour flight is great! 

Thanks to Lois who had to leave the championship Junior Hockey tournament game in overtime to pick us up, here I was back in the snow!!!!  Ms Holly, my cat,  was throughly spoiled by her babysitters.  

Thanks for coming along on my trip-such a great way to greet 2017!!!!
