Riverside | A Day Trip to a Dreamy, Super Retro Hotel 🌴

Hi, friends! Today, I'm excited to share a perfect Day Trip spot with you! ✨ It's right in the heart of Riverside, California, combining the Mission Inn and the Riverside Art Museum—a perfect combo of retro charm and artistic vibes! Let's dive into my itinerary below 👇 ### Mission Inn & Spa 🌞 Mission Inn Visit + Photoshoot 📸 Mission Inn during the blue hour is absolutely stunning! 🎈 It feels like stepping into a vintage European town. Every corner of the hotel is a perfect photo spot—archways, fountains, stained glass windows... the photo opportunities are endless! 🥰 ✨ Tip: Go early to beat the crowds and enjoy a leisurely stroll and photo session. 👉 Must-Visit Spots 👈 1️⃣ The chapel's ceiling frescoes ✨ feel like a trip back to the Middle Ages! 2️⃣ The balcony of the round tower ☀️ has beautiful light and shadow effects! 3️⃣ The rose latte at the pastry shop 🌹 is perfect for both photos and taste! ### Riverside Art Museum 🎨 After a satisfying meal, head over to the art museum! The entire place is super charming and fresh, with a great blend of modern art and local culture. 😍 There's an area dedicated to installation art where you can't stop taking photos 📷, and there are also works by local artists that tell stories and are perfect for quiet appreciation. ✨ Tip: Check if there are any special exhibitions on the day you visit—you might find some surprises! ### Café Brunch Near the Museum 👩‍🍳 After a long day of exploring, find a cozy café near the Riverside Art Museum to chill. 🌿 I had avocado toast and cold brew, and with the sunlight on the table, it felt like the epitome of a slow, happy life. 💛 ### Summary: A Niche and Refined Day Trip! This itinerary is compact yet not tiring. The retro atmosphere of Mission Inn combined with the artistic vibe of the museum is truly healing. 💖 I'd love to stay overnight at Mission Inn next time to fully immerse myself in the vintage experience! 🔥 Mark this down! It's perfect for a girls' trip or a romantic date. 🌟 If you visit, don't forget to leave a comment and let me know! 🌷 #HistoricArchitecture #LivePhotos #ArtAndArchitecture #LifestyleAesthetics #LifeInNorthAmerica #CaliforniaTravel #Riverside #LosAngeles #WeekendGetaway #SpecialForcesTravel
