Entertainment in the desert, February, 2014

One thing we've always enjoyed about Palm Desert, is that there is always something fun going on nearby.
 In addition to the McCallum Theatre which always attracts interesting entertainment, there are a number of casinos that also attract big name acts.  We both love Chicago's music. Their show was fun.
 Want to go shopping?  There's always the street fair that appears on weekends in the College of the Desert parking lot.  Where else could you buy a marshmallow shooter or--
A Bentley or
Bronze sculptures, all within a few yards of each other?
Missing your favorite sports team?  A nearby sports bar will put one of their many TVs on the channel that's playing their game.  Unfortunately, the Portland Trailblazers lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a thriller on this visit.  I know some of my family wouldn't view this as unfortunate.

There are two pools, exercise room, tennis courts, putting green, two golf holes, a couple of ponds, daily opportunities for "snoop" bike rides.  These rides are good exercise, but also let us see who is new in the park and what they are driving.
 
There are also a lot of interesting natural areas, such as a genuine oasis nearby, but we've blogged about it before. 
 
Come visit us.  We would love to show you around.
