Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner

So on Friday Panda and I decided that on Saturday we were going to head to Temecula to drink some wine at our favorite winery, Ponte. We then decided to try and stay the night at Pechanga, the local indian reservation which of course is a Casino.

We dropped off DDT and Hankers at my folks house in the LBC and headed off. We got to the winery around noon or so and got our glasses for our free wine tasting. That very day Ponte opened up the wine club tasting area. It was nice and relaxing to sit out by the vineyard and drink some of our favorite vinos.

After a few more wineries we headed back to our hotel and did a little gambling. Panda ended up back by my side after a hour or so looking for money. I played for a few hours on my initial $20. It wasn't until after dinner that I felt a little more adventurous and headed over to the $1 slots.

It was a roller coaster ride with the $1 machine and after about 1/2 hour I hit $1000!! I wanted to scream but didn't want to be like the other tards around me screaming for hitting $20. So I cashed out and found Panda and we called it a night.

This morning, we gave back some of our winnings but not that much. It was a great time hanging out with my husband and the gazillon other folks that don't want to make the long trek to Las Vegas.
