as we wander » traveling adventures of monika and jonathan

Hi! I’ve been excited to share this post. For like, months.

One of the many perks of Jonathan travel nursing and me freelancing, is we get to set our own schedules (for the most part) and have the option to be very spontaneous when we want to. One Wednesday afternoon, Jonathan and I were out running errands and decided we should get away for the night. I used my favorite last-minute travel app, HotelTonight (use code: MMORRIS18 to get a $25 credit) and booked us a room at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, California. As soon as we arrived I knew we would have the best time. Jonathan and I ate a delicious dinner at Native Foods (Have you tried their lemonade? Yumtown) then went for a stroll to find some fro-yo. We made our way back to Ace and spent some time relaxing at the pool. We finished off the night listening to classic rock in our super inspiring hotel room.

I woke up early and dragged Jonathan out of bed to take some snaps of the place. I’ve had some friends get married here, but I’ve only ever seen the place in pictures. It’s really quite cool. They revamped what looked to be an old motel and Denny’s into this sweet swim club, hotel, and restaurant. They have a few difference spots you can reserve for your special event, a dog park, sauna, ping-pong table and more. After we checked our we drove over to the Palm Springs Aeiral Tramway and rode to top. There we hiked around and sat on rocks and ate lots of snow.

I hope you enjoy the photo tour!
