Palm Springs

Since my work deadlines were on Monday the 22nd, I decided to surprise Karen with a trip to Palm Springs on the 27th and 28th. So after spending close to a week in the house due to the fires going on around here, we finally got out of town.

It was a smooth 2 hour drive into Palm Springs. The quick way is a little 2 lane road that takes you up over the hills.


We rolled into Palm Springs and it was a nice 87 degrees out... I had booked a room at the Westin Resort and Spa at Mission Hills.


Our room was large and was awesome. We threw on our bathing suits and hung out at the pool. It felt awesome to be laying out in the sun and the fresh air was a nice change after a week of smoke.

Later in the evening we headed down the road for dinner. We went to this awesome steak house! We had a plate of Fillet Mignon wrapped in Bacon, Seared Ahi Tuna, and freash Scallops. It was ssssoooooo gooooooood! The place was called Fleming's Steakhouse, it was a little bit expensive, but it was my style of place and the food was totally worth it.

On Sunday the sun came out a little bit more and it really started to heat up. We went to go get some coffee in the morning and it was already too warm to sit directly in the sun being in street clothes. So back to the pool...


After a couple hours there, we decide to pack up and head home. The drive was a little faster than the way here so that was nice. We did come back through a fire in Temecula though. As of right now, I don't think there are any fires left. Or at least I am not hearing about any.

It's pretty sweet that we can hop in the car and in less than two hours be relaxing in Palm Springs!
