Tampa- the Transitions Championship

Good ol' Tampa was a good week for a couple of reasons. First was that we were parked right at the course so the proximity made it really nice to get around. It was also fun because there were several other players and their families parked in our little parking lot with us which allowed us to get to know some of them better. Tuesday night some of our friends Rori and Amy Sabbatini had a little BBQ at their bus in honor of his win in Palm Beach and so we went over and ate and chatted with them as well as some other people for a while while the boys played with their kids. It's so nice to have a little neighborhood of sorts. Another highlight of the week was a little service project/luncheon we had with the PGA Tour Wives Association. Quick side note: The Wives Association is made up of, you guessed it, the wives and significant others of the players. It is primarily a service organization that find opportunities to give back to the communities the tour goes to. It is also a support group of sorts for the women out on the road with their husbands. Pretty cool! End side note. Anyways we got to help out a bit with an activity involving a bunch of local school kids. After we had a nice lunch where we met one of the owners of the resort (pretty amazing woman). The next highlight was St. Patrick's Day. I love holidays!! Any excuse to celebrate and add a little spice into every day life I'm all about. We had a breakfast of Lucky Charms, way too much chocolate and a great excuse to talk in an Irish accent... can't go too wrong. It was also Danny's caddy Danny's birthday (his caddy's name is also Danny) so we took him out to dinner at a Japanese steakhouse (quickly becoming one of my favorite dining out options since we get great food and entertainment. The boys were awesome. Saturday morning I took the boys to the little "kid's zone" the tournament put on. We were the only ones there for a while so Jack and Patty got to drive hotwheels to their hearts content as well as get thier faces painted. After while Patton napped Danny took Jack golfing (with his face still painted) Fun day!! So while Danny may not have the same opinion I've loved having him around on the weekends to play with and have some help at church:) Despite the frustration that is golf Danny has maintained an incredible attitude and is still happy and optimistic about the direction golf is going. So we're happy and as always loving being together as a family getting to have these awesome experiences together. Life is good!! On to Orlando... PS sorry about the layout... we've been having issues with blogging lately. Help Jules!!
