Palm Springs - Day 2


On day 2, we had an amazing breakfast at King's Highway at the Ace Hotel. 


rainbow cake at King's Highway


much needed coffee..."HAIR BENDER" (STUMPTOWN COFFEE ROASTERS)
 Floral notes with hints of caramel, toffee, chocolate & citrus



i must say...the lighting was very good that day!


we couldn't resist the old school photo booth!


We all ordered the same exact breakfast sandwich!
Brioche bun, harissa aioli, fried egg, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, sprouts





Next stop - Palm Springs Art Museum


 
We really enjoyed this museum! 
It's a mid-sized museum with cool contemporary and modern art.



Title: Your Dog 
Artist: Yoshitomo Nara




Roselyn being silly in the glass art section


one of my favorite pieces - "Monument to a Whirlwind" by Andrew Schoultz


can you spot the torn up Philippine peso


I got in trouble for taking a pix of this piece, I even had my flash off! 
The guard (who we thought was a total freak) ended up following us around the whole museum!  CREEPY!
Doesn't this look real??? Crazy.

Next stop - Parker Hotel
Interior was designed by the Jonathan Adler

loved the decor...eclectic, worldly yet elegant


Noah room!

Meesh and orange doors
The outside of the Parker resort was also pretty awesome.  They had hammocks, pools, ping pong, tennis, croquet, bocce ball, fountains, a lemonade bar and an outdoor fire pit. I would love to stay there one day!
Attended the grand opening of Lulu California Bistro for dinner
The interesting thing about going to Palm Springs in August was that many of the popular restaurants were closed for summer break.  I guess it's too hot to work there in August?
Tilapia with mango salsa and 4 cheese baked ziti

Well, that's it for Palm Springs.  Can't wait for our next outing!
