Up and around Cielo Street. Palm Springs, CA

February 20, 2012

With Modernism Week in full steam, I decided to take my niece, nephew and parents out for a day of cacti, mid-century homes and bad diner food. Sounds like fun, right? Well it was. My dad’s a part-time gardener and full-time junk collector, so our Palm Springs trips are always pretty fun—even on a windy, cloudy and overly-crowded Palm Springs. With every home tour fully booked for the weekend, we had to come up with our own impromptu Modernism tour. Thank god for Google Maps.

Before heading home, we made a stop at the Ace Hotel to grab a coffee. Stumptown of course! When we got there, we immediately regretted eating at the diner we had just left and wished that we had saved ourselves for King’s Highway at the Ace. Nonetheless, not a bad way to end the week. Even the sun decided to eventually come out.
