January in Palm Springs
The Ace in Palm Springs has my number. I check in, catch up on email, read books, swim in the salt-water pool, eat irish oatmeal, get a massage, and look up at these gorgeous mountains. It's the perfect mini-vacation.

Celebrate Modernism Week
Palm Springs has the largest concentration of mid-century design masterpieces in the world, so it’s no wonder that architects, designers, and style enthusiasts flock here to get inspired or shop for mid-century furniture and decor. In celebration of this architectural legacy, Modernism Week—held every February and October—features 10 days of home tours, films, lectures, parties, and live music. Go on a walking, bike, or double-decker tour to learn more about the style and see examples. There's even a vintage travel trailer exhibition.

Are We There Yet?
Gorgeous hike at Indian Canyon. After ~2 hours, we encountered quite the temperature drop, and snow. Not very noticeable though when you have a view like this!
