Get out of the city

So, where are you going this long weekend? people are asking each other all through the week. Most of them answer Vegas. What's so good about vegas? I never get it. Some are going to San Diego. I've never been there before, probably in the future, but not this weekend, long commute turns me off. For those lucky ones, who got more time on their hands, they are flying/cruising out of state, or even out of country, me so jealous. So, what's your plan this weekend? you might ask. well, mine is simple, just want to get out of the city, get away from my suffocating office job, the bustling streets, and the congested freeways. I want fresh air, blue sky, green trees, and warm breeze. Somewhere not too far from home, yet far enough to find solitude. I am thinking about Palm Springs...
