One of the many joys of living in Southern California are all of the short trips to see some pretty cool sights! The end of June... when school got out ... we decided to drive the 70 miles on a whim and spend the weekend exploring Palm Springs.
It was a cooler weekend in the 90's instead of the 120's like it had been the week before. We took the Aeriel Tramway up to the top overlooking Palm Springs and enjoyed a lovely dinner.
Later that evening we walked "downtown" Palm Springs which was pretty much a ghost town. There were a few shops open that we strolled into. We looked at the stars and read up on the history of Palm Springs before turning in for the evening. 
The next morning we got up and explored the botanical gardens of desert plants and then looked at tiny homes before heading home.
