New Adventures - Exploring Palm Springs, California

Our family has experienced a significant amount of trauma over the last 14 months. Although we are now stronger from it, we still have much healing to do. Someone much older (and wiser) than I suggested that the four of us find a way to go on an adventure and make new memories.
It's sad to admit that this was a new concept. The four of us have never gone anywhere for longer than a weekend. The weather in the PNW is cold, dark and wet this time of year, so we decided to go somewhere warm and sunny. We found inexpensive direct flights from a neighboring airport, so we took the leap and decided to visit Palm Springs, CA for a week.
During our time in Palm Springs, our experiences seemed to take on a new shape. It was a great opportunity to slow down long enough to process everything that has transpired. Our personal goals were to learn how to not associate our experiences with all the negative things, and to find new vision for our future. While all of that didn't magically happen within the 7 days that we were on vacation, it definitely put us on the right trajectory.
