We were in Palm Springs this past weekend for a little late summer/birthday holiday. It was my birthday last Friday, and we also really needed a break from our daily routine. So we booked ourselves a three-day weekend in a spa with a salt water pool and off we went.
It was a total success. We basically did nothing all day, everyday. Total relaxation. Well, I did go shopping on my birthday, but ended up buying nothing. It wasn't for the lack of shops. There were plenty there. It was because of the temps. At least 110F every single day. Not exactly inspiring me to buy Fall fashion.
But hey, we had that salt water pool and our poolside cabana. Hello, lap of luxury. It had a nice big bed, a cooler filled with ice, drinks, and fruits, and Nick, the poolside attendant who came by every so often to see if we needed anything else. I reclined on that bed for half a day, flipping through September's issue of Vogue. It takes half a day to do so. Have you seen that sucker? It's at least 700 pages.
And now, we are back and ready for the back to school season. Kind of. (The truth is, we are dying to go back there. But during a cooler month.)

| I'm usually a super light packer. But when traveling by car, I can bring 4 dresses and a few blouses for a 3 day trip. Right? |
 |
| Walking down El Paseo in Palm Desert. HOT! |
 |
| We ate a lot of chips and salsa. |
 |
| And tacos and iced tea too. |

| A blurry selfie in Anthro's dressing room. Tired, sunburned, but happy. |

| The view down from inside the gondola. |
 |
| We watched a storm roll in from the mountaintop. Then went back down, and got rained on. For about 30 seconds. |
 |
| Just about everything blooms in Palm Springs. Stuff that doesn't normally bloom around Los Angeles. Is it because of the crazy amounts of sun + copious watering? |
 |
| More random flowering bushes. |
 |
| Cabanas! Nice! (Yes, Jenn Olson, it came complete with a cabana boy. No, he did not look like Taylor Kitsch.) |
 |
| They are happy! |
 |
| More happiness. |
 |
| 1 pool + 3 boys = water fight. |

Well, life would be just too good if your cabana boy looked like Taylor Kitsch...that's almost like asking for too much, ya know?
