Vaca' Bloggin'

This will be the first and last blog post while I'm on vacation! Kelley pointed out that this is one of the few non work related vacations that I've taken. So just to give a few highlights of what's going on... We flew into Jacksonville Florida as Sarah Palin was giving her speech. That's NOT why we went to Jacksonville. Then picked up our rental car... er... dare I say mini van! Ever see that Seinfeld episode where you have a car reservation but they don't have your car? You get the picture. We (meaning Kelley) drove to Savannah for lunch. We walked around downtown. Kelley had her picture taken with Barack Obama! (Stay tuned I'll post that).

Now we are at the Westin on Hilton Head Island! (The bands Staind and Seether are staying here on their way to Miami. The big suite is under our room). Kelley and I played golf at the Melrose course on Daufuskie Island. Starting tomorrow Kelley has a conference to attend, and I'll be golfing for the next 3 days! Next is Hilton Head National, then Harbour Town Golf Links (on my birthday! Friday!), then the Authur Hills course at Palmetto Dunes. Then sleep.

This morning we were up before the sunrise to get on the ferry to the island.


Here's two photos from Daufuskie Island. It's the 18th hole along the water. It's a par 5 and I almost reached it in 2! It was a little windy... Then I blew the 4 ft birdie putt.





It was clouded over all day today. Now as I'm just hanging out in the room, it's pouring rain out! There are tornado watches to the west of us! Maybe I'll get some extra yardage on my drives tomorrow!

VACATION!!!!!!!!!!



It's almost the end of the wedding season for me. Usually right about now I need a vacation. So we planned ahead of time this year! Kelley has a conference to go to in Hilton Head, South Carolina. So I'm going with her! While she's in classes, I'm hittin' the links! I lined up 4 rounds of golf in 4 days. Kelley and I play the Melrose Course at Daufuskie Island on Wednesday. Then I play Thursday - Sat at Hilton Head National, Harbour Town Golf Links, and Athur Hills at Palmetto Dunes. The highlight of the trip is not only playing one of the best golf courses in the world, Harbour Town, but playing it on MY BIRTHDAY! Happy Birthday to me! OK! I gotta go finish packing my golf clubs and stuff.

On a side note... GO SOX! How badly do I want a Sox vs Dodgers World Series?!?!?!?
