Palm Springs Getaway
The Man and I decided to take a quick trip to Palm Springs over the weekend. The drive was beautiful with clear blue skies, fluffy clouds and crisp air. We paid a visit to the Ace Hotel & Swimclub which is such a cool place with it's mid-century modern decor and retro vibe.
There's always lots to do from renting scooters or bikes, hanging out by the pool, taking your dog for a stroll or grabbing a bite to eat at the King's Highway Diner.
And a trip to Palm Springs wouldn't be complete without a delicious mexican lunch on the patio at Las Casuelas Terraza. This landmark restaurant has been in business since 1958. On Sundays you can relax and enjoy the live band. And they make the best Mango Margaritas!
If you go you must have one. Must.
So how was your weekend? Any highlights? Or even better…have you ever had a Mango Margarita?

mango margaritas=happiness
Sounds like a great time! We love Las Casuelas we live about 30 minutes from Palm Springs and go there pretty often. I think I might want that for dinner now 😉 I’ll be getting that Mango Margarita too!
You made me miss my other home…we are snowbirds and came back up north a few weeks ago…love LaQuinta and we go to that restraunt too but I have never tried that drink will have to! Congrats on your mag!
Weekend was uneventful. I live in Missouri and it has warmed up a bit but still not warm enough for me.
I have had a mango margarita…..I believe it was in Mexico. I also got hooked on their mango yogurt…..delish. It is hard to find around here.

It looks wonderful! I’m so jealous with all this snow!
I LOVE mango’s so I can pretty much guess that I’d like a mango margarita! So glad you had a nice break!
XO,

Looks like a wonderful break. I’m not a mango fan so I’ll skip that for a pina colada!
Thanks for the reviews! These places look great and I’m ready to go right now!
Oh, so nice to see warmth, we are knee deep in snow in Ontario Canada
We love Las Casuelas Terraza, too! It would be fun to see you there, maybe have a marga-ra-ra! Hope you’re doing well, Heather. xotammy
Mango Margaritas are delish! Palm Springs sounds like fun especially this time of year…enjoy!
The pictures are lovely! Hope you had a wonderful time!
YUM! I am going to have to remember that Mexican restaurant and no I have not had a mango margarita but I am ready for one!!! Ole’
I am totally craving mexican food today…now even more! Looks like you had fun!
my hubs and i love to visit Palm Springs. we were planning a quick get away for tomorrow for our anniversary but alas, my hubs is recovering from hip surgery so we will be going in April for a raincheck anniversary trip!!! I will have to make sure to try that mango margarita!
Sounds like fun. I haven’t been to Palm Springs in years, but used to go there with friends when I was younger. Living in the high desert for quite a few years now, I don’t seem to want to visit the “low” desert like I once did 🙂 Beautiful photos and that food looks delicious!!
Blessings,

Aaaaah, this is why I love living in Arizona! We drove over to San Diego last week-end, and yes, I have had a Mango Margarita. Miguel’s on Coronado Island is the place. The food is wonderful and you can walk off the calories across the street at the Hotel Del. It’s the bomb-digity!!
No, I’ve never had a Mango Margarita.
Or any Margrita for that matter.
I’m a beer drinker. 😉
Love the tiles on the table at Las Casuelas Terraza!
The first Margarita I had was a mango one!! They are my favorite! Made a quilt for my grandson over the weekend. Also opened an etsy shop. Busy weekend. Hope you had a fun trip!
What wonderful photo and what looks like a wonderful weekend. I am so drawn to Mexican pottery and tiles. My dinner plates are varying talavera pottery dishes. Just discovered your blog and am excited to add another favorite to my list!
It sounds like a wonderful time!
How fortunate to live within driving distance.
Glad you had a relaxing time with the man!

Yum to all! Looks like a grand time.I enjoy exploring~Cheers Kim
Looks like a wonderful getaway. My hubby and I just returned from a getaway to San Antonio and Fredricksburg, Texas. Fun, fun, fun and much needed rest and relaxation.

Hi Heather,
What a fun getaway. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photographs – there is no place prettier than our Southern California in the winter with the sun shining and snow on the mountains. I have had lots of different margaritas – but have not had a Mango – sounds yummy.
Speaking of yummy – Congratulations on the new issue of Flea Market Style magazine – it is yummy and fabulous – love all of the flea market finds, junk makeovers, charming cottages and fun ideas – especially loved Ann Perry’s adorable garden house and the article on “shirts” I am off to the Goodwill to look for vintage shirts.
My “man” and I always make a point to eat at Las Casuelas when we are there! Super Yummy!! We went up to Carpinteria camping and explored the vintage and thrift stores in Old Ventura. Cool place 🙂
mmm … think i need to do a mango margarita quest. that sounds delicious!
saw the new FMS today and it is BEAUTIFUL! your photos are stunning and fun and personable as always!
cheers!

I have never had a mango margarita but would LOVE to. Have a yummy recipe to share?!
Yum…that sounds good! Getting ready for our first Flea Market Fun at our Shop…so exciting but so scary…will anybody come? What will they buy? I met you at Farm Chicks last year and bought a cute bird house that my husband through away! So I will be looking for another one.
Enjoy your day~KarenSue
A mango margarita sounds delicious!
You’ve got such a great eye for details! I love the photo of the knots. Looking forward to Souvenir!
Oh that Mexican food is making my mouth water– Never had a mango margarita, but just had a pomegranate on in Dec. It was fabulous! Happy weekend to you.
Oh, please tell me what that dish is called. I must find a recipe and make something similar. I’m too far away to be able to afford to get there and eat the real thing. But the next time I’m in California,(ha!) I will be sure to eat there. *big sigh*
Hi Shannon, my husband Scott and I went there on our 3 date over 21 years ago. We love their food, wish we could have had that for dinner tonight!
