Indian Wells Esmeralda Mini-Moon: Part 2

For the second half of our four-day mini-moon we decided to switch things up and stay at one of Palm Springs' famous nudist resorts...

PSYCH! We saw the sign on our way out of town and I couldn't resist snapping a pic. I bet some people do honeymoon there, but that is a whole different kind of website...

We were very very very happy in our hotel room at the Esmeralda in Indian Wells. I mean, can you beat this view?

Days three and four were pretty much par for the course. There was relaxing, eating, being pampered, the usual. Of course we spent some more time pool-lounging and room-service-ordering.

We felt so special staying at the Esmeralda. Although we were there during Spring Break and it was family-central the staff were so sweet to us. Every time we went in or out they would say "here are our newlyweds!'' We felt like rockstars.

We went out for dinner for our third dinner as husband and wife (I know I'm corny) to Roy's Hawaiian Fusion and if we thought we were treated special at Ruth's Chris, well, Roy could teach Ruth a thing or two. Except the guy outside who took our picture... he could learn a thing or two himself.

We had so much fun. I highly recommend pretty much anything on the menu including the pineapple mojitos. Oh yes. Don't mind our gold rings...

We were pretty excited about our dinners...

And our new wedding rings...

And being newlyweds...

We felt like we were on our tropical island honeymoon after all!

After dinner we decided to test out our hotel's sweet fire pits and cabana chairs by the pool. I'd say the test was a success.



We had a fantastic time on our mini-moon, we really did not want it to end. Although we had to say our good-byes to the Esmeralda and our vacation together, we were ecstatic that it was such a beautiful beginning to our brand new life together.



Because we were married on Palm Sunday, it will always be easy to remember our anniversary as it will be falling one week before Easter every year. Although our honeymoon was officially over, we kept the party alive through the weekend by shopping (hell yes) and seeing the Easter Bunny himself in the fur. It was pretty thrilling.

Hopefully next year we will be seeing the Easter Bunny on some tropical beach on our postponed white-sand-beach-honeymoon. Now that we live in Florida, I imagine finding one of those beaches shouldn't be so hard. In the meantime... Married life is good.
