Every March, me and my mom make a pilgrimage to Indian Wells, CA to the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament. The trip has been a fun tradition for us for about seven years. We have the same love for tennis, good food, and traveling, and during this trip we are able to put them together into one. 
The BNP Paribas Open is the largest and most important tennis tournament after the big four (US Open, Wimbledon, The French Open, and the Australian Open). The Indian Wells Tennis Garden is the second largest facility in the world that is dedicated to tennis. It seats about 16,000 tennis fans, has 3 stadiums, and a total of 8 tournament courts. Over the course of the tournament, more than 350,000 tickets are sold to 21 sessions of tennis. I was lucky enough to attend every session. I witnessed amazing tennis matches!
As I said before, food is a huge part of this trip. We watch tennis all day and enjoy fine meals every evening. The Palm Springs area of California has a very high concentration of amazing restaurants. Some of our favorites include:
- The Nest
- Pacifica
- Hog's Breath Inn
- Piero's Aqua Pazza
- Ruth's Chris
- Mikado
