We had decided to stay out of the direct sun because we both got a little crisp on our backs. :) We decided to walk downtown and drive around Palm Springs to see what else it had to offer. It was nice to be able to relax and just enjoy each other's company.
We stopped to get a quick snack at Maracas a local mexican restaurant. I decided to get a mojito and some guacamole. Both were delish and as you can see I was starting to feel more like myself.
I would never pay $7 for guacamole but I was on vacation. JUSTIFIED
Around 2:30pm we decided to head back to the hotel to say some goodbyes to some friends and soak up some more pool time. When we got to the pool we found this:
Apparently someone had an accident in the pool and it was closed for the day! BOO
Just not the same....with the caution tape.
We decided to have dinner at the Purple Palm which was the restaurant by the pool. It was nice to be able to sit and enjoy a nice meal together. And the meal was amazing.
Course 1 - Purple Palm Salad
A light salad with a basalmic dressing, goat cheese, grapes and pine nuts! Yes please.
Course 2 - Pumpkin & Shrimp Ravioli
This seemed like a weird special to have at this time of the year. I was so happy I decided to order this meal because it was just the right mix of sweet and savory.
Course 3 - Chocolate Crossiant Bread Pudding
I am on vacation so a dessert and bottle of wine are a must! This is by far the best bread pudding I have ever ordered. The bread pudding wasn't to sweet it was just perfect. I'm not sure where the chocolate was...but I was totally okay with it. You have to try this!!!
This was the perfect ending to a really enjoyable extended weekend. I did realize that I need to vacation more. I think I need to find a profession that allows me to travel, write and experience new things while getting paid a pretty penny! :) A girl can dream right????
