Golf Trip

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity, along with several of my workmates, to play TPC Las Vegas golf course. Me and another chap from work drove to Las Vegas on Friday, arriving by the late afternoon. We awoke early to meet up with the rest of the Woodward crew, and got in a minibus at 7 a.m. that took us out to the golf course.  

We played a team format, and I was paired up with a chap called Fernando. We played a better-ball, scramble format, where both players take shots, and then select the best position to take the next shot from. It was a really hot day, with temperatures topping out at 104. To make conditions tricky, there was also a 25 mph wind. Even with all that, and a very difficult professional standard golf course, Fernando and I played pretty well, and managed to win the competition. We finished 2 over par, and picking up a $450 first place prize, between us.

A smaller group of friends from work went out for a meal on the Friday night, to a Benihana restaurant, and finished the night in the Sahara casino, where most of us were staying. 

Spring Break

Stace got to play golf at fancy Sand Canyon Country Club on Saturday morning, and enjoy this gorgeous view. 

Later on Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa took Violet on their annual whale watch trip. They again saw many marine animals - dolphins, whales and sea lions.

Violet and I climbed our hill on a beautiful evening last weekend and captured this scene.

Violet is on spring break, so she and I went to Vasquez Rocks on Monday. 

Healthy snack with a great view. 

On Tuesday, Liana and Sofia came back over for D&D again, and Colleen stayed so we could chat and catch up.
