Annual Vacation - Home Away from Home

Running out of things to do here.... was going to take them to the Children's Discovery Museum (y'know...like the one in San Jose) only this place costs $8 for admission.  HA!  Cheap cheap me.... and for $8... I guess they can run around for an hour or so.  But lo' and behold... it's closed on Mondays. 

So we head off to the same places we usually go back at home.... Costco, Target and Westfield.  HA!

First we got gas at Costco.  Then had breakfast at McDonald's. (two days of making macaroni and spam in our room was enough!)

Then headed off to Old Faithful - Target.  And Joyce.... she was a machine!! Especially when she saw the "50% OFF" signs become "70% OFF."  This was her moment to shine.  She preys on moments like this every year.


For lunch... Nn screamed to go back to Sam's Sushi.... just like how she screamed to go back to Pizzeria Villagio.  This time, there was no wait.  But the food took forever to come! SW feel asleep while eating!  So instead of heading back to the hotel.... we head to Westfield! 

We found a little lounge area where I held SW and Nn slept in the stroller while Joyce went shopping.  The kids woke up and then we spent an hour in Barnes and Nobles. 

We came all the way to Palm Springs for this???????

Dinner:  At at the Italian restaurant at the resort.  Yelp gave it 2 stars.  We had low expectations...and it met our expectations.  I normally never send food back to the kitchen... but the risotto was inedible.  Makes me question the whole Westin Resort rating system.
