Palm Springs

February: Palm Springs was probably the last work conference for Dad for a long time.
It's a barren desert city built in a prehistoric sea bed between two mountain ranges, covered in lush green palm trees, and sustained by a giant secret underground aquifer. Very unique, and Mom would probably come up with a metaphor for it if she wasn't so tired.
It's famous for music festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach, and being the vacation spot for old Hollywood royalty like Frank Sinatra.
It's also famous for being nestled next to the San Andreas fault.
The last major earthquake from this fault in 1906 is well known for the damage in San Francisco, with the next Big One predicted for 200 years later. Let's be honest, the way 2020 is going so far, nobody would be surprised if the Big One hit early.   
It was beautiful, and the food was yummy.
These two were blissfully unaware that this would be their last date night until 2021.
It was a good one, with dinner at Frank Sinatra' old house.
Serenaded by Ol' Blue Eyes himself.
