Palm Springs mini trip, day 1

Akiang was heading back to TW after she ended her 1st semester at school. We decided to take a short trip before she goes so she can take care of the cats. Since we didn't have that much time and really didn't know where to go we just decided to make a Palm Springs/Joshua Tree road trip so we can use our national park pass again. It was raining for the week at LA, but we got lucky as we headed east to our destinations even though for the 1st day weather wasn't all that great.....

View of the resort we stayed at.....We didn't really got to the golf course or swimming pool for the whole trip though....lol

As you can see it was a very "cloudy" day even though sun was out....I liked how the clouds made the hills prettier with all the shadows....


Since weather wasn't that great we just went to the outlet to walk around and had a nice dinner to end the day....We went to Cork Tree which of course I found on Yelp. The interior was all dark so it wasn't good for photo taking but the food was nice...

Special salad was quite special....never had this type of tomato salad before....goes well with the skinless asparagus :)

Cute little soup sampling....squash, tomato, onion soups...

Billy looking happy with the soup....

I got scallops and Billy got short ribs


Billy looking happy with his red wine....

Desserts....Trio of creme brulee was kinda cool with interesting flavors....

Cork Tree it is....

clouds were cool after we finished dinner....and we just finished the 1st day of trip after dinner :)
