We decided to take a road trip to California to visit Gamie and on the way to see parts that we have always wanted to see, but had not made it to, as of yet. So our general loop was as such: palm springs, out to santa barbara, up the coast to san jose, up to napa, and then back down the 99 to arizona.
First stop was Palm Springs. An interesting town...it is known for its mid-century modern architecture and I had always wanted to see it. Other than that though, there is not much worthy of seeing. It seems to be a town that is still existing in it's past. Where it is not built up, there are dusty old empty lots that seem to be lost in time. It has a strange vibe.
But we did have some really good Thai food for dinner :)
Hannah was not with us at this point, we would be picking her up at camp the next day.
Some notable structures we saw....the house of tomorrow where Elvis had his honeymoon, Bob Hope's house....from a very far distance, and Elvis's vacation home.
We went to a street fair in the evening and got to see lots of overly tan old gay men out with their dogs. So bizarre....
This one above is Bob Hope's house...the one that looks like a dark black dome...you can only see it from a far distance. I was glad to have a good zoom on my camera
Palm Springs was less than exciting for us too. The huge windmills were cool though.
