The husband and I decided to go on a little getaway for our one year
anniversary. We went to Palm Springs. What a fun adventure it was. We stayed
at La Quinta Resort and
Club. The grounds are gorgeous and the staff was amazing. We did lots of
lounging by the beautiful pool.
I have always wanted to check out Joshua Tree
(the inner-hippie in me). We decided to take one day and go explore the “ghost
town”. We stopped as soon as we arrived in Joshua Tree, to grab some food, at a
really great place called Crossroads Cafe. The small cafe reminded me of a struggling
musician hangout, with really chill folks. The food was delicious. lots of
vegan items and smoothies, along with some yummy sandwiches. After exiting the
cafe we drove 1/2 a block to the entrance of Joshua Tree National
Park. Wow! The most amazing place I have ever been. We drove 12 miles and
reached 5600ft, to see the most beautiful view. I suggest checking this place
out. You will not be disappointed. After gawking for a good hour, we headed
back to Palm Springs to relax some more before going home.
This was the
perfect little getaway. Thank you, husband.
PS Palm Springs had a Target and
Homegoods store, which I had to stop at, because as you know (or may not know),
Santa Barbara has neither.
