Weekend # 8 - 2/26/11 - Palm Springs

So my cousin Chanel decided to get some sun time and escape the Seattle weather.  She stayed with my cousin Ashley who lives in Venice.  We all hooked up on Saturday and drove down to Palm Springs.  The traffic wasn't too bad.  The weird thing is there are all this Dinosaur statues along the way.  I have to assume this was big Dinosaur land.  It certainly looks like a place that the Dinosaurs would have lived.  I didn't get any pics of the dinos but I will be back to Palm Springs in a few weeks for a tennis tournament, so I will be sure to get more pictures on this trip.

Next cool thing, is all the wind turbines.  I heard that Palm Springs is *maybe* the second windiest city in the country or maybe the world?

Ashley - Doing the driving!

Followed by Chanel - being the goof!

The cool Wind Turbines

We stayed at the Ace Hotel.  Very cool place!

By Recommendation: Ashley and I went to each brunch at Cheeky's.  Well, everyone else got the same recommendation.  We waited as long as we could and then headed back to the hotel to eat in the retro diner.

I will explore more when I am in Palm Springs again on the 18th- 19th.  The problem is I will not be able to get there until around 7pm on Friday and I have to leave right after the tennis tournament on Saturday because I am flying out to Park City in the morning on the 20th.

I have a crazy month ahead of me.  Today is my birthday!  You can check the next post and see where I am.  I will be here all week.  Then Vail, Ogden, UT, Palm Springs, Park City and San Antonio.  Phew!

Thanks for reading!!!
