Friday Roundup: Desert Rose

I love the faux tropical getaways built in the 1950's in areas like Palm Springs and Las Vegas. As anyone in a desert town knows, most everyone there owns a pool (or in the case of my grandma's old house in Bakersfield, a sprinkler system for us to run through and an inflatable kiddie pool). Sitting by a pool with a mojito in hand with hundreds of miles of vast desolation surrounding you is surely a getaway.
