Palm Springs Weekend

We recently celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary, February 23rd. Instead of a big hoopla- party w loaded up the pups and luggage into the ol' car and headed down to our favorite town...Palm Springs! It was the weekend before our anniversary and the weather was just perfect in town. Just about a 40 minute drive from our home, Palm Springs has been our go-to choice for weekenders. The people are amazing, the food fantastic, the atmosphere... just perfection.
The hotel was a complete surprise to me. My husband wanted, for once, to keep a surprise under wraps from me...which is nearly impossible. All I knew was that it was pet friendly. Yay! Of course, my pups are like my babies. As soon as we pulled up to the Riviera, my heart was racing. I have been dying to stay there! The front entrance is quite a site. The lighting is gorgeous and you truly feel transported to a chic version of the past. 

Rusty and Myself as happy as can be.

The décor and furniture was quite beautiful, not entirely vintage but vintage inspired for sure. The rooms were very clean which is always a plus. Downtown was in walking distance which is nice for an afternoon stroll through the town.

Albrech caught admiring the palm trees.
Trying to capture a family portrait but all our pups want is kisses.
Don't look at the camera puppies. Thanks! ;)


Our last night in town, we headed over to SHAGs shop. This was perfect timing because.

Meeting SHAG once again, but for the first time at his Palm Springs Shop.

Then we decided to hit up all the celebrity Palm Springs homes...and by celebrities, we mean those that are relevant to US. =)




First we came across Marilyn Monroe's home, which was very covered by overgrown shrubbery.



Next was my favorite, Nat King Coles home. He is truly my favorite crooner.
 
 




Last, we visited Elvis Presley's honeymoon home. This is always a must stop for us when we are in town.
