This gave me a great chance to see where my parents spend their winters. My first time in Palm Springs, and I loved it.

I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to learn that Bedrock City is based on Palm Springs (I shall have to google that and see if I&#8217;m right).<\/p>\n<p>We had some &#8220;bad weather&#8221; (aka clouds) while there, but still plenty of pool time.
