Mike and Erica: Girls Trip to Palm Springs....HOT!!!

When I heard I was going on a girls trip, I immediately thought of relaxing by the pool or at the beach (thinking this was going to be a coastal destination perhaps....San Diego?!)! Little did I know we would be relaxing in the HOT HEAT (118 degrees) in PALM SPRINGS!! Las Vegas is just as hot, but at least there, the pools are nice and cool and you are inside most of the time!

Stepping out of the car for the first time was insane! We were so hot already that I sensed we were all ready to give up being outside at all and head into the hotel room...the rooms weren't ready yet so we enjoyed a yummy lunch at the Cheesecake Factory! When we finished, we ventured to our hotel (Rancho Las Palmas) for what we thought would be a relaxing time by the pool.....not what we had planned. It was the most unfreshing pool we'd ever been in! Maybe 95 degrees! To make the adventure better, we got into the lazy river, leaving our shoes where we got in so our feet wouldn't melt when we got out and to our surprise, everyone was told to get out of the pool because something had happend. We had to make a quick leap out of the pool at the stop before our shoes....BURNED FEET was the result! We couldn't stop laughing at what had just happend! Having all had enough, we went and hung out in the air conditioned room for hours chatting and having a nice and relaxing time together! By night time, we ventured to another pool where we sat out for hours trying to stay cool! We had a nice dinner at P.F. Changs to top off the night! The following day was spent shopping (of course)! Despite the heat, it was a great time together and we truly did have a ton of fun!! San Diego next time, ladies??!!! My sister said it best, "Best wishes to those who are going to Palm Springs in the summer!" =)
