and more...





more palm springs...





Gotta love Palm Springs!






Our plan while in Vegas was to take advantage of our being in the west and check out a lot of places we always wanted to visit but didn't want to trek across the country at the same time. I always wanted to go to Palm Springs. I love the architecture..all the retro designs. It's also considerably warmer than Vegas right now and I heard the food scene is pretty good. Where there is food...we will go.

We decided to stay at the Riviera. http://www.psriviera.com/
Back in the 1960s the Riviera was the it spot for icons like Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. I guess the place lost it's pizazz over the years until a hotel group purchases the property and completely upgraded and restored it. The original structure was maintained and modernized. The decor was really cool and the pool was by far the best hotel pool I have ever been to. This place was really beautiful and we had a great time.
