On Friday, we flew into LAX and spent most of the day driving through the mountains to Coachella Valley. There is a country music festival - Stagecoach - going on this weekend so traffic was awful and everything is very busy. After getting to the hotel and relaxing, we went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant - Fresh Agave. The food was delicious, and of course we got guacamole. It looked like typical guac but it had a slightly sweet flavor; it was interesting but Andrew and I both really enjoyed it. After dinner we picked up some groceries and had a laid back night after a long day of traveling.
This morning, we got up and went to the Street Fair. We enjoyed walking around in the sun and checking out all of the little shops. We found a local coffee grower and bought some unique flavored coffee for the week. After the street fair, we drove to downtown Palm Springs to explore and do a little more shopping. We stopped at a Starbucks where I was finally able to try the affogato - I highly recommend it!
Once we were done shopping, we went to the airport to pick up Josh and then headed back to the hotel. After he unpacked, we went to the pool to get lunch and hang out. Andrew and Josh ordered the asian wrap - they were both surprised when the food came to the table and the "wrap" was a lettuce wrap! The pool was more crowded than I've ever seen it with all of the people in town for Stagecoach. After eating and relaxing by the pool, we went to go play mini golf at the hotel. Thankfully we didn't keep score because none of us had a very successful game.After we got back to our hotel, we played some cards and watched hockey. We had In-n-Out for dinner - it was delicious. The sun got the best of us during the day, so we just had a low-key night. Tomorrow will be a busy day picking up Caitlyn and Cole. It's also supposed to be the warmest day, so in between airport runs we will have plenty of time to relax by the pool!
