Trip Summary

  • Palm Springs, CA
    Palm Springs, CA

    Palm Springs lies on the western edge of the Coachella Valley, within the Colorado Desert. Known throughout the world as the mecca of modernism, Palm Springs enthusiastically embraces and celebrates the mid century modern design aesthetic. It is also known for its hot springs, stylish hotels, golf courses and spas. Maybe it`s the laid-back vibe, the mix of stunning natural features with slick urban offerings, or the fact that it embraces so many different cultures, but there`s something very cool about Greater Palm Springs.

    Explore The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, the Palm Springs Art Museum, the Indian Canyons, the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, the Moorten Botanical Garden, the Mount San Jacinto, the Palm Springs Air Museum, and so much more!

  • Santa Barbara, CA
    Santa Barbara, CA

    Santa Barbara is a city on the central California coast, with the Santa Ynez Mountains as dramatic backdrop. The distinctive Mediterranean style white stucco buildings with red-tile roofs reflect the city`s Spanish colonial heritage. Mission Santa Barbara is sure to be a unique sight and catching great waves or a perfect sunset at one of the sandy beaches won`t be a difficult task. Shoppers and foodies most certainly love the upscale boutiques and restaurants offering delicacies and local wines. Santa Barbara, where the sea and mountains feel as one, the sun feels more golden, and the valleys overflow with a bounty of color.

    Explore the Old Mission Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Zoo, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Stearns Wharf, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, Superior Court of California County of Santa Barbara, and so much more!
