Spin Around in the Highest Heels: Palm Springs

So between being sick for that last week and a half and crazy days and hours at work I have had no time to update. Anyhow, a week and a half ago I had the chance to go with the girls to Palm Springs in celebration of Becky's 27th birthday. The first day in Cali Steph and I met up in the early morning for a day in LA. We had a blast cruising all over the city (literally all over) I think we did a full circle of the city, all the while with out temperature gage in the VW Bug flashing at us. The day started out with a search for cheap designer jeans...but every place we tried to find had closed! Can you believe that? By the time we decided we were out of luck we were starving! Thus a new quest began...the search for In and Out. With out tummies filled we thought it may be a good idea to trade our cute little car in for something that wouldn't break down on us in the middle of the desert, we did have a 2 hour drive to Palm Springs that night...we traded our cute little convertible bug for a much more practical Saturn Vue (small SUV) and headed to pick up Becky's sister Heather from the airport. From there we headed to Manhattan Pizzeria at Manhattan Beach, Steph and I discovered this place last year when we can to LA for a weekend. They seriously have some of the best pizza!

Then we went to the pier to look at the water and enjoy the ocean air

Then it was FINALLY time to pick up our Beckers! Then we were off to Palm Springs. Along the way we stopped and got a milkshake to share for a pick me up little did we know how badly we would need it! You would think that with mapquest directions we could make it there with no issues...but we were wrong! 4 hours later we arrived at the condo. Day 2 we slept in and then went to brunch at this great place...delicious!

It was so good we went back the next day. Then we headed back to the condo for an afternoon at the pool.

That night we headed to the street fair that is held downtown every Thursday. They had all sorts of little shops and vendors lining the streets. It kind of reminded me of a mini Summer Fest. We enjoyed delicous carmel and chocolate covered apples...Mmmm. The next day I woke up sick :( I was pretty much worthless the rest of the trip. The girls went on an awesome hike and I slept. We went to the amazing outlets. I got pulled over in California for doing a California Stop...and we had a delicous dinner at Kobe. They had a great fish pond out front, with food to feed them. They would seriously almost attack each other for the food!
