Palm Springs 2011

Anthony and Amy went south to Palm Springs to visit Grandma and Grandpa Friedman this Feburary.  It was a Monday to Saturday trip and there was much relaxing taking place.  
One major task we undertook: buying a new computer for Grandma and Grandpa.  Their PC was on the way to the grave.  Amy and Anthony took a hesitant Grandpa Henry to the Mac store.  We picked out the laptop and all the accessories and software and then while waiting to pay, Anthony met Ron Fairley (Seattle Mariners past and present color analyst).  We actually bought the computer thru his son who worked at the Mac Store.

During breakfast one morning, we saw a Roadrunner come right up to the patio of the condo.  

Over a decade ago, Anthony went to a seafood restaurant with Debbie. Larry, Jere, Selena and Grandma and Grandpa.  They took us there one evening and Amy's salmon was excellent.  Served over a bed of garlic mashed potatoes encased in a crispy fried tortilla of sorts with spinach... and did we mention the salmon was blackened?  One of her favorite fish preparations!

Anthony's Ahi tuna was delicious as well.  

During our stay we managed to get some time in the sun, a dip in the pool, a trip to the outlet malls and some good quality time with the Grandparents.  Overall, it was a fun trip, the weather was nice and it was a good break from being at home.
