From the East Coast to the Midwest

On our drive to the Congressional Country Club

Parker and I just arrived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It has been a great last few weeks on the road... It is hard to believe that we are embarking on week #4!!!





Two weeks ago at the AT&T National we enjoyed a festive 4th of July week in our Nation's Capitol. We were really looking forward to this year's tournament because he was actually in the field. (he was the on site alternate last year and didn't end up getting in). We didn't fit in quite as much site seeing as we would have liked this year but still were able to enjoy a night out in Georgetown and spent some great time with good friends who were also celebrating the holiday in D.C. On the 4th of July Parker didn't walk off the golf course until about 8:00pm because of the rain delays, but we made it back to the hotel just in time to see the view. We actually watched about 6 firework shows from our hotel room that night.

Dinner with Friends in D.C.

This past week at the John Deere Classic we enjoyed a nice change of pace. Moline, IL has such a great small town feel. It was nice to escape all of the chain restaurants and surprisingly Parker and I found some incredible exotic cuisine in this small Midwest town. Our favorites were a Thai Restaurant on the way to the course and and Indian Restaurant that we happened to find last year. Moline, IL is also home to some of the best ice cream in the US. One of the highlights of the week was that we were treated to Whitey's Ice Cream in the club house after his rounds. They are famous for their shakes that are so thick that they can be turned upside down with nothing spilling out!

Today Parker played in a Pro Am in Rockford, IL. After Sundays round we all got on a bus that drove us about an hr 1/2 to Rockford. Instead of a typical bus it felt more like and RV...It was a great way to travel! All of the guys hung out and played cards and were able to relax... and I was able to take in the views of miles and miles of cornfields between the two cities.
