La Quinta, CA 6 Jan 2014

It is great to be back in Palm Desert.  We always have a good time here and enjoy the weather, friends, and family, but when we are gone, we think maybe we should try somewhere else.  Tonight, we decided that is crazy thinking.  However, the sun is shining, the temp is perfect, and there is no wind. It is easy to love it here as long as we have days like the last three.  After spending time cleaning and making our site our own, we went to happy hour at one of our favorite restaurants.  The menu is cheap, delicious and full-meal worthy.  The atmosphere is wonderful, service superb; with a nice view.  The patio manager is from Manzanita, Oregon! 
    
The Cliff House with valet service provided, even for our filthy Jeep.  It will get clean tomorrow.
 Sculptures above the patio add whimsy to the place.
 Usually there is a long wait for a table like this with a fire in the background, unless you are there between 3:30 and 4 pm.  Today it was 5:00 pm before all tables were taken.
This view is why it is worth arriving early to get one of the few tables where the mountains can be seen.
