I was blessed with an impromptu Palm Springs getaway over the weekend.

To me, Palm Springs means mid-century house tours, furniture shopping and yoga.  This time was a little different, as I forced myself to stay put on a lounge chair and really get the most out of the downtime.

As I sipped a poolside margarita and listened to the steel drum band, I was able to see Palm Springs in a whole new, glitzy kinda way. 

I was also able to live out a life long dream, (I’m sure many people can relate) to visit the Cabazon Dinosaurs, as Pee Wee Herman did in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. 

Although they seem to have aged a bit, and they don’t allow you to climb through the neck like Pee Wee and Simone did, it was everything I had ever dreamed of and a little bit more.
