Last winter we spent a month and a half in Desert Hot Springs and totally fell in love with the Coachella Valley.
This year we went back to visit friends staying at Sam’s Family Spa & Resort, and to do more touring of the area.
Our friends Tom and Lori, were able to snag us tickets to an amazing Gary Allan concert!
