4 Week Stretch

I feel like after these last 4 weeks there is quite a bit to sum up. It has been an adventure to say the least. After leaving on such a high note from New York, we seem to be riding the wave of golf right now. But through it all we are loving every second of this journey.

Our time at the Viking Classic in Jackson, Mississippi was very special to us. We stayed at the home where one of our best friend's grew up. It was in a beautiful neighborhood and we received nothing but the best southern hospitality from his family & friends. We are so thankful to have spent time in Andrew's hometown. Also that week, the tournament treated the wives to a trip to Greenwood to tour the Viking Headquarters! I wished that parker could have seen all of the amazing BBQ & kitchen equipment. Another highlight was seeing Paula Deen's (from the Food Network) sons do a cooking demonstration at the course - i think that women is hilarious - she fries everything! I skipped watching a few holes to try the lamb & grits that they demonstrated -it was awesome.

Riverwalk

The Alamo

The next week brought us to San Antonio where off the golf course we enjoyed the sites of the San Antonio Riverwalk and the Alamo. I probably got the most exercise on this course than any other course this year! There were steep hills and the course spread over such a vast area. The highlight of this trip was the annual caddy dinner that is hosted by Parker's caddy's family every year. The Uresti family made an incredible fajita and enchilada meal that fed hundreds on the driving range!

The following week we started to make our way further west. We arrived in Las Vegas and decided to break up the trip a bit by staying down on the Las Vegas strip Sunday - Tuesday and the moving out to the golf course in Summerilin Wed - the weekend. Parker taught me how to play blackjack at the tables and we even hit up the casino war table and walked away winners. One of the best parts of this week was the Beach Boys concert at the Mandalay Bay. Parker's Dad was there to enjoy it with us and loved every second. Even though golfing on the weekend didn't work out we were so thankful to have spent time with all of our family and friends that made the trip out.

Last week we were finally HOME! It was such a treat to have a tournament in our backyard (that makes 2 this year!) The second we got back we unpacked our suitcases and were determined to live out of our closet for the week. We had dinner at home every night... which we loved after 4 weeks on the road. After just missing the cut we decided to bring our spirits up and enjoy some music in old town Scottsdale where Josh Kelley was performing. We are huge fans and listen to his music all of the time when we are home.

The last 4 weeks took us from the south... back out west... and now it is all the way out to Florida for the last two. I am excited for Parker to get back out the road with 2 events left to make his move. Even though on paper he has missed the last few cuts, in my opinion he has been playing amazing golf and it will all come together before we know it.
