busy couple of days.....


Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty busy for us. Tuesday started off with Mark and me teeing off at Bryan Park Champions Course at about 7:45. Good front nine for me, but the wheels fell off on the back nine. Beautiful course, though, and very fun to play. We met the bride, Jennifer and the girls at Friendly Center for lunch and shopping that afternoon. Then we ate at Green Valley Grill in the O'Henry Hotel that evening. The food was wonderful and no one left hungry

We left for Johnson City Wednesday morning around 10:00 and decided to stop off in Blowing Rock, NC for a little shopping, eating and just walking around town. The weather was perfect - a slight breeze and about 72 degrees. We're not used to that kind of weather in August! The town was beautiful, very quaint with old shops and lots of charm. Lunch was at Tijuana Fats, and while the service was slow (the bride said they just operated at a slower speed in Blowing Rock) the food was very good. After that we went in and out of the shops and just enjoyed the day. We met up with quite a bit of rain on the way to JC, but the scenery for the entire day was spectacular. The mountains of NC and Tennessee are hard to beat.

Today's been a lazy day so far. We're taking the girls to see "Sky High" after lunch. Tomorrow afternoon Dad and I are going to play golf. I can't remember the last time I played golf 3 times in a week. Not that I'm complaining.....
