Sabbatical week 7 - part 1

Back to southern California.

Where Renee and I spent a couple days complimentary getaway at this resort just outside of Palm Springs.

This was the view as we stepped outside the front door of our room. The first day was absolutely beautiful.

The second day was not as sunny.

Renee saw this water fountain and wanted a picture of me.

Frank Sinatra Drive

Bob Hope Drive

We found this crazy hat store in Palm Springs and had such a fun and silly time trying on all these different hats. That’s a hamburger hat by the way.

We are both convinced that every pastor needs this hat as part of their wardrobe.

She’s gorgeous in whatever hat she’s wearing.

For when I go crabbing back in Oregon?

Renee really liked the pizza hat.

I made sure Governor Palin wasn’t around before I put this hat on.

She’s cute even in a pirate hat.

I am a Nazarene pastor so this picture had to undergo some slight modification.

I would be wise not to make any comments

I’m secure enough in my masculinity to wear this hat.

Renee should have stuck out her tongue too.

Every guy needs one of these.

My princess!

We ended up getting this one and another one like it for the boys.

Classy!

I tried, but I couldn't get Renee to wear the pimp hat.

Yes, it's a rooster.

We both really liked the birthday cake with candles hat.

Hot diggity dog - it even came with mustard.

Renee really liked this one on me.

Dinner date in Palm Springs.

I am married to the most wonderful woman!

Other than that one day of clouds and rain, the weather was perfect.

We had a great time in Palm Springs!
