Palm Springs, Ca

Two weekends ago Jimi and I went on my company trip to Palm Springs, Ca. It was cold and rainy with only a little bit of sun one morning, so we spent most of our time lounging in the hotel room, eating and drinking. Not quite as resorty as we were hoping, but relaxing none the less!

Here are the details:

Hotel - Riviera Resort and Spa - style: contemporary and kinda late 50's mod with bold pattern and bright colors, food: Awesome, pool: Nice with real sand and fire pits!

The Drive - Cabazon and Desert Hills Outlet Malls, A&W Rootbeer floats, and Jack Rabbit Pass (60 HWY), snow on the mountains and suddenly hitting rows of palm tress, knowing you have arrived.

Breakfast and a Movie - The Rum Diaries (gets a big thumbs up!) On Demand and Room Service (our first time) consisting of omelets, orange juice, coffee, potatoes, and bread (Jimi had the best Huevos Rancheros of his life!)

Poolside - AM sun, a late lunch (best grilled cheese sandwich ever), a really good drink called the Sharon (Bacardi peach red rum, peach puree, fresh orange juice & lime blended with ice), and the jacuzzi once it started to rain.

Downtown - It was Saturday night and St. Patrick's Day, so it was busy, but we got ourselves into an authentic little French restaurant called Pomme Frite. It was amazing!! Who knew in the middle of Palm Springs!?

Sleeping in, napping and going to bed early = a whole lota rest!

I am obsessed with rootbeer so this was Ahhmazzing!
