Emily had a nice surprise valentines day; I booked a room at the Riviera Hotel in Palm springs. According to the weather, it was the only place in California that wasn't raining on Valentines Day weekend. It was a beautiful modern hotel and Em loved it! Historically it was the 'hotspot' of Palm Springs frequented by members of the "Rat Pack." It just underwent a major renovation and re-opened this fall. The huge tub was amazing - and Emily enjoyed getting a massage. When I went to meet her after the massage, we saw Alyssa Milano leaving the spa. (weird! only in california..)
It was also 'Modernism Week' - Palm Springs is one of the homes of 'atomic ranch' style modern architecture. We went to the modernism home decor show and saw tons of cool furniture, books and accessories. We also toured a few new construction homes built to resemble this fun style! It was a great weekend.
