A Palm Springs Valentine's (Part 2):

Our second day started as any while on a romantic vacation should: popping some bubbly! I really do mean 'popping' too, because the cork propelled itself out of our patio, over two more, and somewhere in the walkways of our hotel; all the while sounding like a gun shot and then spewing champagne all over the beau... We laughed hysterically at this, naturally. 

[Mimosas at dawn.]

[Sweet pup, Lily!]

We soon departed for the tramway that whisks you to the top of the mountain range next to Palm Springs. I was slightly unprepared for the frigid temperatures, but we had a good time seeing snow and observing the wonderful views.

[Being goofy whilst waiting for the tram.]

[Climbing thousands of feet above Palm Springs.]

[My Valentine. <3]

[The wilderness.]

[JR found a stump that looked ripe for sitting!]

[Shadow kisses.]

After our trip above the clouds I went to get a mani/pedi while boyfriend had a quick conference call for work. I picked up some snacks while I was out, so our dinner ended up consisting of hummus, fruit, and cinnamon buns, which was okay with us! We curled up next to the fire once again and had a Dexter marathon for the rest of the evening until we could not keep our eyes open any longer... Our own little version of romance. With serial killers. 

[Fuego.]

Waking up very early the next morning, we walked to the coffee shop next door to The Ace so that I could properly function and then packed our things once more.

It was so nice to have a little getaway with my man (& our cute pup!)... Although we live together and he works from home, there is very little quality time for just the two of us with roommates and his very demanding job. Now all we need to do is wait another 17 days until our European vacation! Yippee!
