Palm Springs 2018. Day 1 & 2
DAY 1 & 2
Our journey to Palm Springs 2018 began on the 11th of May. We packed everything into our big car and left the Stratosphere, Las Vegas, at around 10:30am.
While driving we realised we were on Route 66, so stopped to take some photos. Never thought we would actually drive down this infamous road!
The business was successful but in 1972 Interstate 40 opened, marking its decline in popularity. Eventually, the property went into foreclosure and repossession in 2005, re-opening in 2008.
Amboy is a ghost town reminding tourists travelling Route 66 of what it once used to be. Yet the shade the canopy of the gas station offers a welcome break from the relentless sun for the motorcyclists riding through the desert.
We stopped for lunch at Jack in the Box in Twentynine Palms before continuing our journey to Palm Springs.
The drive took 5 hours total, and we arrived at our accommodation Delos Reyes, where the kids then rummaged for their swimming gear and jumped into the pool before winding down for the night.
On the 12th, we got up before the kids and went out to take some photos of the stunning doors of Palm Springs that frequently turn up on Instagram and Pinterest check out my post here
Then after the kids woke up we wandered up and down the main streets shopping and taking photos.
In the evening the kids went into the pool again to cool off from the warm Palm Springs weather.
Then bed to rest up for our final day in Palm Springs which happened to be mother's day, check blog post here

On the drive to Palm Springs we saw some beautiful dessert type roads.
We parked beside Roy's Motel and Cafe where we got out and enjoyed checking out this part of route 66.
Originally opened in 1938 as a gas and service station along Route 66, it expanded in the 1940's to include a cafe, an auto repair garage, and overnight cabins for rental.
The business was successful but in 1972 Interstate 40 opened, marking its decline in popularity. Eventually, the property went into foreclosure and repossession in 2005, re-opening in 2008.
Roy's Motel and Cafe was defunct for many years but has now been largely restored, on the National Trails Highway of U.S. Route 66 in the Mojave Desert town of Amboy in San Bernadino County, California.
