Some Like it Hot

Having our fill of Dinosaurs, we continued our journey to a little oasis in the desert called, Palm Springs.
I've always loved trips to Palm Springs because it's like going back in time to the 50's.
Upon entering the town, I couldn't help but feel nostalgic for an era of the past.
It's as if I was walking into a living and breathing museum, a city frozen in an ode to it's prime.
With Mod architecture on every corner and palm trees lining the streets, I was transported to a time of glamour and opulence.
I imagined what it must have been like to see movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe roll down Palm Springs Boulevard in her chauffeured top down Cadillac while puffing on her long stemmed cigarette while dripping in diamonds.
Once upon a time, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball and Elizabeth Taylor were all among the stars that called Palm Springs their home away from home.
In fact they have even built a 36 foot tall statue to commemorate one of the Hollywood legends.

T-Rexcellent!

I bet you didn't know this but California has dinosaurs.
And I'm not talking about fossils, We're talking about life size dinos.
They live in the desert on the way to Palm Springs, right next to a date farm.
BTW the date farm owns a little restaurant called, Hadley's.
They make the absolute best date shakes in the world, it is probably a moral sin to pass this place and not stop by to get one.
It may be 110 degrees and howling wind (like it was when I went), but my friend, it is worth it and you will thank me.
Anyways, back to the dinosaurs.
