GETTING THERE
GETTING THERE
The journey to Palm Springs is half the fun!
But first answer this question: Do you want to rent a car?
Yes, I want to rent a car.
Congratulations! You've earned another question: Are you feeling adventurous, or would you wrather take it easy-ish?
I'm up for adventure.
Look at you! Make the most of California and drive Jonathan and Kelly's favorite road trip down Rt. 1 on the California Coast. It's Magical. For this adventure you should fly into San Francisco, Oakland, or San Jose airports.
I want to take it easy.
Then let's keep it easy-breezy and find you the best deal for travel. Because you're renting a car you can fly into any Southern California airport and it'll be roughly the same drive time to Palm Springs, so pick whichever one makes the most $$$ sense for you: LAX, John Wayne, Burbank, Long Beach, or Ontario. Of course you can still always fly straight into Palm Springs AND rent a car if you're big on freedom but small on time.
No, and how dare you ask.
Sorry to upset you. Let us make it up to you with some sage advice — you should fly straight into Palm Springs International Airport and take a quick Uber/Lyft/taxi to the hotel from there!

ACCOMMODATIONS
Stay with Jonathan & Kelly in the heart of it all! Originally a Howard Johnson's in the 1950's, The Ace Hotel & Swim Club is a sprawling desert party with a giant pool, communal outdoor fireplaces, DJs, an amazing restaurant called King's Highway (which will be catering the wedding), and ~vibes 4 dayz~! Ideally we want all our favorite friends and family to be casually wandering around the Ace without a care in the world, running into us and each other all weekend long.

THE AGENDA
The Wedding Party Party
Genevieve Ernst
Officiant
The three of us met each other in the same week, back when Bushwick was East Williamsburg.
Jessica
Torres
OG pas de deux partners by the age of 4. Sleeping on the floor of a Madrid train station by the age of 21. Always down for an impromptu improvisational lounge singer duet.
Eliza
Mack-Connor
High School drama club royalty. We still hold the record for longest awkward on-stage kiss. She's the perfect overzealous puppy to my grumpy cat.
Jane
Coxwell
Pizza, dive-bar & drag queen enthusiasts. Travel buddies to the edge of the world and back.
Sloane
French
Bicoastal art school grads with an affection for small living quarters. She's the only reason I stopped wearing 6 hemp necklaces in the mid-2000s.
Christian Henry
Big Brother = Best debate opponent / worst babysitter. He took me to my first concert, my first bar & my first dirty standup comic.
Alexander Henry
No, my little brother and I are not twins but sometimes one of us dresses up like the other just to confuse our nephew.
Arianna
Henry
My favorite little sister is... well,
she's a little bit... She's a little bit...
She's a little bit a-la la la la la la,
A little bit Alexis.
Ricky
Alas
The more sensative style of fraternity brothers, we studied Creative Arts in college and wrote and performed an original song once, thankfully before Youtube.
Jared
Kole
I was his Freshman Orientation Leader and I've continued to do an excellent job forcing him to like me ever since.
Katie
Osgood
Our parents used to talk for hours in the supermarket when they'd run into each other, and it was miserable, until, one day, we realized we too were friends.
Randi
Stuart
Loch Ness to Lady Bug Lane, we've been confusing strangers with our names since we bunked up and bonded to a European Winter Chill during my semester abroad.
Yasmin Hosseinzadeh-Wyatt
From the windows to the walls of my fraternity heart, my Laffy Taffy Little Sis is always there to remind me I'm doing the best that I can.
Meghan
Kennedy
Friends since we both had the "smart" idea to take PE summer school. Plus MK backwards stands for Kelly Michael, I don't make the rules.
Shannon
McCarthy
Equal parts sarcasm, sleep, and side-eye, it's almost like we're related. Or rather, it's precisely because we're related.

THINGS TO DO!
Things To Do
.jpg)
1. Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
1 Tram Way, Palm Springs, CA
Directions • Website
This is an absolute must if it's your first time visiting Palm Springs! It's the largest rotating aerial tramway in the world. It was opened in September 1963 as a way of getting from the floor of the Coachella Valley to the top of San Jacinto Peak.
3. Joshua Tree
National Park
Highway 62 Entrance, Joshua Tree, CA
Directions • Website
Two distinct desert ecosystems come together in Joshua Tree National Park. Hike, camp, or drive through a land sculpted by strong winds, occasional torrents of rain, dark night skies, a rich cultural history, and surreal geologic features. But plan everything ahead because there's no cell reception.
5. The Living Desert
47900 Portola Ave, Palm Desert, CA
Directions • Website
For five decades The Living Desert has been engaged in the important work of preserving, conserving, and interpreting the desert and all its varied plant and animal life. They present that work as a zoo and garden with desert spaces purposefully kept as wild as they would be without human interference.
7. Desert Hills
Premium Outlets
48400 Seminole Dr, Cabazon, CA
Directions • Website
The West Coast sibling to New York's Woodbury Common, the 180-store Desert Hills Premium Outlets complex is a collection of luxury outlet stores including Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Kate Spade, Tom Ford, Valentino, and more. Plus it's the historic location of Kelly's 3rd job ever at Gap!
9. Moorten Botanical Garden
1701 S Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs, CA
Directions • Website
Established in 1938, this privately-owned arboretum was created to share the beauty and extraordinary varieties of desert plants. In the world’s first "Cactarium," visitors will discover more than 3000 varieties of trees, plants, and cacti from around the world, all designed in concentrated habitats along a nature trail.
2. Soundbath at the Integratron
2477 Belfield Blvd, Landers, CA
Directions • Website
The Integratron is a 38-foot-tall cupola structure designed by UFO-ologist and contactee George Van Tassel. Van Tassel claimed the Integratron was capable of rejuvenation, anti-gravity, and time travel. The sound bath is for those who seek deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and introspection.
4. Pioneertown
53688 Pioneertown Rd, Pioneertown, CA
Directions • Website
Pioneertown was established in 1946 as a "Living Breathing Movie Set," a functioning 1880's themed town easily accessible from Los Angeles to film in. More than 5o westerns were filmed here during the 194o's 195o's. Nowadays it's got a few permanent residents, a few old-timey shops, and a popular bar/restaurant/venue that manages to book some surprisingly A-list acts.
6. Cabazon Dinosaurs
50770 Seminole Dr, Cabazon, CA
Directions • Website
The Cabazon Dinosaurs have long been regarded as one of the most iconic roadside attractions in the US. Featured in cult classics such as Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure, you might say these dinosaurs have, ahem, fossilized their image in campy pop culture.
8. Palm Springs
Art Museum
101 N Museum Dr, Palm Springs, CA
Directions • Website
A "big-city" art museum with a bit of everything — modern and contemporary stuff, western and glass stuff, plus several temporary exhibitions throughout the year. They also offer a range of theatrical and musical performances, as well as architecturally significant house tours celebrating Palm Springs' unique midcentury aesthetic.
10. Windmill Farm
Garnet Road, Whitewater, CA
Directions • Website
This otherworldly windmill farm is a site to be seen, and in fact, you've probably seen it in lots of movies and TV shows. You can book a fancy Windmill Tour if you want, but you can also just cruise around Garnet Road to get up close and take your own pics with these almost unbelievably massive manmade monoliths.
