The day is starting off well!
Happy official birthday, Eric!
We started at our favorite diner, Elmers.
Then we headed to the pool for lounging.
In retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have eaten that entire German pancake...
The pool was the perfect temperature.
Before heading home we walked around downtown.
We have never even noticed Ruddy's General Store before, so we decided to spend the $1 entree fee and check it out.
Ruddy's is not a store but a museum.
James Ruddy donated his collected of general store items to the city of Palm Springs in the 80s.
Almost every box and bottle has never been opened.
The man was quite the collector. It took him over 35 years to acquire over 6,000 items.
Elvis and the Frank Sinatra have stars in downtown, and happened to patrons at our hotel, Caliente Tropics.
We couldn't leave without getting another ice scream at Kreem!
Eric had a scoop of blood clot (raspberry and strawberry) and Witch's Brew (vanilla ice cream with everything in it).
It was just a good as yesterday!
I managed to obtain the last scoop of apple cinnamon pie...
Now we know how it feels...
All of Eric's birthdays since we have been together have involved taking a trip somewhere.
This is the closest to home we have ever been, but a MINI vacation is better than NO vacation!
On our way home we met up with Eric's family for delicious Chinese food.
Birthday weekends are way better than birthdays.
First off, that photo of you after eating an entire pancake made me laugh out loud. Oh my gosh. You are the cutest pregnant lady. AND so dang funny.
ReplyDeleteI love this birthday weekend post. You guys all look so happy. I wonder if you'll have a birthday weekend sans baby. We will see.
I will definitely hit Ruddy's when next in Palm Springs. So dang cool. I love those surprises that delight.
Happy birthday to Daddy Eric. Wow.
