Well that sucked

Just got back from Palm Springs, err, Desert Hot Springs. My family loves it there, particularly my kids. We always get a pool-side room, so that our patio leads directly out to one of the hot springs. That way we can still stay inside the room while still being able to watch our kids.

We went there this weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday which is coming up this week. We had a nice dinner, albeit a little rushed since the baby was being fussy, at Roy's in Rancho Mirage. I was looking forward to ordering some lamb chops, but they didn't have them on the menu for whatever reason. I ended up ordering the Hawaiian style Ahi Poke for an appetizer and the Lemongrass seared scallops for dinner, along with two glasses of J. Lohr cab. My wife had the duck leg for an appetizer, the seafood cioppino for her main course, and chocolate souffle for desert. Not a bad meal overall, I've had better at Roy's in the past. My wife and I for whatever reason really like Roy's. We went to the one in Maui for our honeymoon many years ago. Pretty extensive menu, and at least at the Rancho Mirage location, they have a pretty good Monday deal.

Also, I got to play some blackjack at Agua Caliente, casino. I got destroyed and that really sucked. In other news, I just found out last week that Caliente means hot in Spanish, and thus Agua Caliente means hot water, like duh, obviously. Sometimes for a fairly intelligent person, I seem to be pretty stupid at times.
