wildhorse Weekend

We have such great friends! This past weekend we were lucky enough to tag along with them on their RV / golf trip to the Wildhorse Resort and Casino outside Pendleton, OR. We had a wonderful time eating, golfing, eating, swimming, eating, visiting and did I say eating. I've got to say the new restaurant, Plateau, located in the casino is excellent. The 10 of us showed up Friday evening and were escorted to the private dining room where we enjoyed a wonderful meal including drinks and dessert at very reasonable prices. The service was top notch! Betty, our server, you rock and my husband, Scot, thinks you make the best Gibson on the planet. The dessert was so good we returned Saturday evening to partake in a sweet feast once again. My daughter felt that the hot chocolate lava cake was the best. The bananas with rum sauce smothered over the hot chocolate lava cake were my favorite. A few of our friends had the special on Friday evening. A baked peach that was supposedly to die for. The only disappointment I heard the whole time was when we returned Saturday and they did not have the baked peach available for dessert. I thought my friend was going to cry.

The Wildhorse golf course was pretty nice. I couldn't hit my irons worth a darn, so I lost a couple of balls in the lakes with my perfect left hook. My husband, daughter and I played best ball though so the score did not reflect how badly I played because my family kept bailing me out. We were able to see our friends that moved to Milton Freewater a couple of years ago. He is an awesome golfer who just this last year hit two hole-in-ones during the same game with the same ball. How awesome is that?
