Hello there! It's been quite awhile, for a few reasons... First off, I have some good news to share (as eluded to by the end of this post here). My internship which I have been at since mid-July has turned into a job!!! I am so excited to be learning and working towards another career since teaching in CA right now is nearly impossible to achieve (particularly in LA). So I have been busy with that, working at the restaurant still and typical life duties of husband and home.
On to the post at hand, this weekend I got to have a much needed getaway to Palm Springs for a dear friend's bachelorette party!! We stayed at the Riviera Resort which is a super cute hotel built in the late fifties and recently renovated with fun sixties pop-art style in mind. It was soooo nice to chat and lounge in the pool without a care, go out for a fun girly dinner and then dance our hearts out to tunes like "Call Me Maybe." Sunday was spent in the pool again and I even got to enjoy some reading. The trip home was equally as fun as I love driving on the 10 and seeing the windmills and of course, stopping by the Cabazon Dinosaurs. Childhood nostalgia can always bring a big smile to my face. It was the perfect weekend away to refresh me for this week ahead!

I absolutely love Palm Springs! How fun! I've never been to The Riviera, and am adding it to my list!
ReplyDeleteI feel like teaching in CA just won't be an option for a while... Time for me to look into other careers as well. :/
Cara, I know, it was heartbreaking for me to come to that conclusion and something I'm still struggling with. I miss it so much but I know that God has me in LA for a purpose and I have to be pursuing other things for now when doors open.
DeleteOn a lighter note, yes the Riviera was totally fun for a girls weekend, not as"hip" as the Ace, but a bit more girly for sure!
glad you had a chance to get away!!

Seems like you girls had an amazing time!I have been looking at Palm Springs vacation home rentals for a week away with my girlfriends. Glad to see your group had so much fun, I'm even more excited after seeing these great pictures! Hopefully I'll be able to find some of those dinosaurs!
ReplyDeleteMolly, the dinosaurs are on the way off the 10 so I'm sure you'll see them, the 7 year old in me was stoked! As for Palm Springs, I am already mentally planning next year's tripS, yes plural. You girls will have such a great time! Soooo fun a for little getaway! =)
