- Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
This year, for the Thanksgiving holiday, by two brothers, John and Robert, decided to spend Thanksgiving week here in Palm Springs, CA.
We used to all gather at my mom's for Thanksgiving, but she passed away earlier this year, so this is our first Thanksgiving without her.
It's also my birthday this week, so we decided to take a ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and have lunch at the Peaks restaurant a the top to celebrate.

Happy birthday Steve. Sending love and best wishes from australia🇦🇺🎁
Thanks, so much, Tracey!
Best wishes for your special day ❤. Here in WASHINGTON my house celebrated my husband's 70th on Tuesday the 23rd. We try to celebrate on these days when it's not on turkey day. Hope you all enjoyed each other..
That's awesome, Penny. Happy birthday to your husband, too!!
What a nice trip. I never knew there's a tram in Palm Springs. I kept chuckling looking at all the masked faces. Hahahaha. I still find it to be strange, although I closely adhere to it. That's our world today. Happy B Day.
For better or worse, I think you right, donn. That's our new reality.😁
Steve.... Happy Birthday dude!! Hope you have many more! May you and Jim have many more happy years together. Corny message but given with great respect to the two of you.
Thank you, Norma, and I sure hope so! :-)
Happy birthday from Europe, Steve! What a beautiful scenery. Keep those videos coming ❤️👍.
Thanks, RS. I sure hope to!
I do hope that you had a wonderful birthday Steve! That was nice that your brother's were there also. It sure looks like you all had a fab time ridding the Tram and grabbing a bite, hopefully you finished your meal. I won't get on you for forgetting to film again, since it was your birthday celebration! Lol. Jim looks so different without his hat on, he always has one on. And it looks like his hair is a tad longer too.
When you were taking the Tram ride, Duke Ellington's "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" popped into my head! Lol
I also hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know that it will be a little rough this year, without your mom, the first one's always are. Peace...
Hi Stacy, LOL, I can't believe I forgot to film the food. That was the whole point of the video! :-O When the food arrives I'm usually too hungry to start filming and too in the moment to remember. It definitely was swinging. They should definitely have that playing in the background, lol! It is difficult without my mom, but we are trying to remember all the good times. Thanks, and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, too!
Happy Birthday Steve. Gosh, it sure looks strange up there without any snow. Sad to see they removed the wood burning fireplace.
I agree marc! very sad about both. :-(
Happy birthday Steve! Thank you for sharing the tram ride, I’ve always wanted to do that so this gave some great insight in on what you experience. ❤️
Thanks, Jill. I hope you get to do it one day. It's pretty spectacular and memorables.
Happy Birthday Steve, here's to more happy years
Thank you, Greg!
Happy birthday Steve have a great day

Happy Birthday!!! Steve, Hope You Enjoy Your Special day, May God Bless You Always..Take Care..
Thank you, so much, Luis!
Happy Birthday Steve :) There is no way that I could ride up in that tram, so it's nice to see what it looks like through your video.

Happy Birthday, Friend! And Happy Thanksgiving too!!
Thank you, Mary, and the same to you!
Happy birthday Steve. I did the tram in the 80's but I don't recall the restaurant or any of the buildings. I'm sure they've modernized a bit in 40 years. Hopefully they changed the cables too, lol.
Hi Bill, LOL, the building are exactly the same as they were in 1963, when they opened. (Except the fire places were painted orange, which was very cool and 1960s. I can't believe they beiged them down :-( You were probably having too much fun to notice the buildings. But yes, hopefully the cables are a lot newer! :-)
Happy Birthday Steve ! Enjoy.
Thanks, Teena!
Happy birthday Steve god bless and happy thanksgiving
Thanks, Amanda and the same to you!

Thanks, Richard 👍
Hi there! Since I am a subscriber relative newbie, I am way late to your birthday. But….Happy Birthday! What a fun way to spend your birthday! The tram was kind of on the back burner of things to do during my work trips to Palm Springs as there is just so much other things to do. Then COVID came….and I was ready to ride it….and we needed reservations:-(. Though I come to Palm Springs 3 or 4 times per year for work, I rarely got enough advanced notice to get reservations. So, when my wife and I came for 2 weeks of camping this April 2023, we did finally get a ride. What a fun time….and the scenery is awesome up there. I can’t wait to do the hiking there too. We didn’t eat, but we did go to the bar on top. It ended up being the most expensive drinks we have ever bought……but the drinks were absolutely incredible. And, my wife and I had a really awesome time talking to the bartender there. He was a really a nice guy; as well as a treasure trove of Palm Springs info.
Prices are crazy, but at least the drinks were good! Glad you got to experience it Alan. The hikes are really nice and can be quite strenuous. Thanks for sharing this for everyone Alan!
Happy Birthday!! Many happy returns!
Thank you, Zero!
Happy Birthday Steve.

Sweet Steve, happiest of birthdays!!!
Thank you, Jane!
I missed this video! Happy, Happy Belated Birthday Steve!! May you have many, many more! Looks like you had a blast. Loved seeing your Brothers. ~Michele
Thanks so much, Michele!
When I lived in L.A. and traveled to Palm Springs, I always had a feeling of total relaxation as soon as I got off I-10 and onto Rt 111 - LOVE P.S. - everything looks like it was just built a year or 2 ago! Even in summer with up to 115 degrees or so, I still enjoyed it! Looking forward to visiting again!
My feeling exactly Thomas! :-)
I LOVE your hats! You're much braver than I though. I'm terrified of heights. Looks beautiful though
Thanks d, it is kind of scary but definitely worth it! 😳😄👍
Happy Birthday Steve!!
Thank you, Susan!

Wishing you a very fun filled Happy Birthday Steve, I'm guessing 21 again! Ride to the top looked fab.
LOL, how did you know? 21 forever? At least in my mind. :-) Thanks, SFL!
@@theretiredlifewithsteve Growing old disgracefully : ) As Oscar Wilde once said, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars".... I'm a Londoner, and I cannot wait to be back in Palm Springs with my partner next year. Keep those wonderful graveyard visits coming, love them!
Happy belated birthday ! Hope you had a great day . Nice video , keep them coming .
Thank you! Will do, Daisy!
Happy Belated Birthday. 🎂🎁🎊🎈🥳 Sorry been out where there was no WiFi. Keep celebrating. 🍾

Thank you, Gary!
Happy birthday hope you have a good one
Thanks, Scott!
Happy birthday 🎉
Thank you, Sylvia!
Happy Birthday 🎁🎉🎈
Thanks, Sam!
I’m a Von Roll fan, but had no idea this existed. I’m just learning about California. But since I have to use a wheelchair, I guess this would be out for me. But thanks for recording this! You always have great content. 💜
I think all businesses in California have to be wheelchair accessible, so I'm guessing it wouldn't be a problem. You could always call and ask, though. The tram cars are huge and the doors are extremely wide.
Happy birthday to you hope you had a fab day x
Thanks, Angela. It was!
Happy birthday and Happy Thanksgiving! 🍗🦃
Thank you, Shiliela and the same to you!
WOW 😮 that is insane and neat love ❤️ it. I hope I said HappyBirthday over on your other page
Thanks Denise!
You certainly make the Palm Springs area look appealing. The heat concerns me, though.
We love our home and our view, but are in a very remote area. It is feeling a bit too remote so looking for an area with nice things to do. I also want to be closer to Disneyland than our current 6+ hour drive.
This looks like it was a lovely birthday!
Very smart of you to think of these things now when you are younger. My mom lived out in the middle of nowhere and refused to move. It made the last couple years of her life very very difficult for her and everyone else. :-( Remote is great if you're a loner and in perfect health. :-)
