My mom and I just returned from Palm Springs after a fabulous mother / daughter weekend in honor of her birthday / Mother's Day. We had a fabulous time and are already talking about taking a trip there with my dad and Corey in tow in the near future.
We landed early Friday morning and didn't waste any time making our way to the Desert Hills Premium Outlets. With 130 stores to choose from, we had the first part of our trip cut out for us. While we both are usually on the lookout for good deals, neither of us expected to find the bargains we found there --- we made out like bandits! The best deal of the day was a pair of $208 pants for $29!
After the outlets, we hopped back in the car for the 20-minute drive to Rancho Mirage to check-in at our hotel and spend some time at the pool. With temps in the 90's, we were excited for some much needed sunbathing.
For dinner, we headed several miles away from our hotel to the El Paseo Shopping District and enjoyed drinks and dinner at Sammy's Woodfired Pizza.
On Saturday, we geared up for a day at the pool with a breakfast of champions at The Palm's Cafe. It was highly recommended to us by the Reeder's and, with it being so close to our hotel, we definitely didn't want to pass it up. The omelets were delish!
After an afternoon at the pool, we hit up the nearby Macy's for even more great deals (i.e. a $79 skirt for $9!) and then made our way into Palm Springs (a 15-minute drive from Rancho Mirage) and swung into Blue Coyote Bar & Grill for cocktails and dinner. To wrap up our day, we spent some time at the Spa Casino, only to lose all of our gambling money.
We wrapped up our trip with some last minute souvenir shopping at Hadley, where we found all sorts of yummy treats to bring back to the guys.
All-in-all - a fantastic mother / daughter weekend and we can't wait for the next one!
We made it!
Enjoying the first dinner of our desert getaway weekend.
Ahhh...nothing beats a cool cocktail on a hot, sunny day.
