Father’s Day at the Bali Hai
Like last year, we celebrated Father’s Day at the Bali Hai restaurant. It’s a new tradition that I very much enjoy. Endless mimosas, cream puffs, and pineapple. Russ ate the largest plate of seafood I have ever seen. It was literally a mountain of crab legs, lobster, shrimp, and oysters–he was in heaven! We went [...]
Tell ‘em Large Marge Sent Ya
So I lied, I have one more post from our Palm Springs vacation. On our way home we got stuck in horrible traffic. I guess I should have known. With a toddler, we usually try to do our road trip driving in the evening so she can sleep most of the way. We decided to [...]
King’s Highway
One of our favorite places to eat while we are in Palm Springs is King’s Highway at the Ace Hotel. It’s a bit more hip than the places we usually dine, but it is in the most fabulous building (an old Denny’s). Places just don’t look like this anymore! We actually ended up going twice [...]
Back From Palm Springs (and my blogging break!)
Hello dear readers! Sorry for the unannounced break in blogging. I have had a crazy couple weeks emotionally. I don’t really want to say much about it, but the declining mental health of a family member has been weighing quite heavy on my heart. Aside from that, we have had a busy couple of weeks. [...]
Concert in the Park
\ We spent Friday evening drinking margaritas and watching music in the park with some good friends and a handsome pug named Winston. We brought a picnic dinner, Lucy ran around, and we enjoyed the beautiful summer evening on the grass. I often get caught up in my dreams of living in the country, but [...]
A Picnic in the Mountains
It was a hot one today, and as nice as sitting in our cool air conditioned home sounded, I really wanted to get out and do something. We packed up a picnic (crusty bread, basil infused olive oil, mozzarella, tomatoes, rice salad, kalamata olives, and a bowl of cherries), and hit the road. It was [...]
Fathers Day
For Fathers Day we went to the Bali Hai for brunch. Much champagne was consumed and a few too many cream puffs were eaten. Maybe we overdid it a bit, but I think it is good to go all out every now and then. I hope you all enjoyed and celebrated the amazing dads in [...]
A Bit More of the Springs
We are about done with the Palm Springs pictures, but here a few random photos I snapped on our way places. I would have liked to do more driving around to check out the incredible mid century architecture (which really is my favorite thing to do out there, after sitting by the pool and [...]
The Parker, Palm Springs
On our last day in Palm Springs, per request of our friends that joined us on this mini vacation, we visited The Parker for breakfast. Last February they got married there, in probably the most beautiful and fun (though I was 7 months pregnant and didn’t have nearly as much fun with the open bar [...]
Dazzles, Palm Springs
This is Dazzles, my very favorite shop in Palm Springs. Sure, it’s mostly out of my price range, but just look at it, a vintage lovers dream! Though the prices are a bit high for this thrift store addict, I have to visit this shop every time we go to the desert. It really is [...]
