When cocktails, sun baking and a pinch yourself backdrop combine..
Yes, you do have to pinch yourself as you drive into Palm Springs. Not just due to the amazing hilly backdrop that quite literally looks like a work of art, but have you seen the architecture??!
Some of our most enjoyable Palm Spring days (besides cocktails and pool time) were spent travelling around the area, taking in the house designs and making a few (*endless) notes for our future home!
Four days in the desert oasis went far too quickly, but we managed to fully experience the beautiful area and have far too much fun doing so.. read our must-dos below!
