Hot As Hell

Girls trip booked in advance, check.  Summer visit to Parker Hotel in Palm Springs when rates are low, check.  Record-breaking temperatures...check?  (Note: there is nothing dry about dry heat.)  Fortunately, it was still as relaxing and beautiful as planned.

In all seriousness though, 'girls trips' become rarer and harder to plan as one gets older and life's obligatory tasks or milestones take over, so I cannot be more grateful for the opportunities - big or small, hot or cold, short or long - and especially when they involve:

Plenty of hammocks.  (We also had our own private one outside our room!)

 

 

Secret gardens.

Poolside, fresh-squeezed lemonade cocktails...  Sass and Bide cover up.  Hat Attack hat. 

With the option of moving to an indoor salt water pool and spa.

And generally, just the opportunity to bust out a floppy hat.  Joie top.
