Day 778 - Palm Springs Marilyn Monroe - 07.07.13

Today we drove home from Gilbert, AZ and we made several detours along the way.  We drove into Palm Springs to check out a statue of Lucille Ball, but were pleasantly surprised to find this giant statue of Marilyn across the street.  While also in Palm Springs we stumbled upon this little neighborhood called El Rancho Vista Estates.  It was a small community made up of Mid-Century Modern houses.  Many of them have been restored and look amazing.  Also on the trip we saw Hobo Joe in Buckeye, AZ, Hi Jolly's tomb in Quartzite AZ, The Wigwam Motel #7 in San Bernadino, CA and Bono's Historic Orange in Fontana, CA.  It was a good day for roadside attractions and this Marilyn was something I saw today.
