Master's Tournament visit

 I was invited to the Master's Tournament from a work vendor and had the most amazing time. After leaving FL a day early and Eric having to bring the kids home from FL, a driver brought me from Atlanta to Augusta. I arrived around 10pm to the rental house and had a short night of sleep so we could leave at 5am to wait in line for the garden gnome. It was well worth the wait. Standing in line for 2 hours and meeting the rest of the team that would be there that day with us was fun. Mike, our host, has been many times before so knew exactly where we should go. While we went shopping to get the gnome and throw whatever else in our shopping bag that we wanted to bring home for friends and family, he went to buy chairs and put them out on the 15th green. We were lucky enough to have tickets to Berckmans where only people who get tickets from a member can get in to. It had about 6 michelin-star restaurants, even an Italian place that flew the chef in from Italy, and specialty stores with a special logo. We went shopping again and ate at a Scottish pub. We enjoyed watching for celebrities - we saw Peyton Manning, Lynn Swan, Usher, Joe Jonas, and the girl that played Elphaba on Broadway. We were able to putt 3 of the holes that they created for the area. Afterwards we walked the 18 holes backwards to see the grounds, watch the earlier tee times, and enjoy the food on the grounds - Pimiento cheese sandwich, iced tea, and a Georgia-peach ice cream sandwich. After we shopped some more and left our bags checked at Berckman's we went to our seats. They were incredible. As we were approaching the 15th hold, Ryan Cantley's ball came right in front of us so we got to be should-to-shoulder with his caddie. We then got to our seats and were on TV quite a few times. My bright pink hat stood out in the crowd and could easily be seen on TV! We were so close to Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory Mcilroy. It was a surreal experience. Had the best time! And the gnome made it back through the carry on and all the thousands of dollars worth of merch. 

FL Spring Break and Disney

We went to FL for Easter and enjoyed brunch at the club and an afternoon on Sanibel Island. The kids got easter baskets and then went to Disney for the week with Grandma and Grandpa. They will highlight their experience below. After days of working, Eric and I enjoyed dinner out and exploring the area - like mini golf at Pop Stroke. So a vacation in the evenings which was really nice! 

Disney highlights:

Maeve's - Rides, fireworks, magic photos, matching clothes, and pin trading. My favorite ride was Test Track or Space Mountain. I also loved eating at California Grill while having amazing food and views.

Cecilia's - I loved seeing the fireworks at night they were beautiful! Me and Maeve also got into pin trading where we started to buy pins and was like this is fun I think we should do this more! I loved people working at the parks and taking photos and added Disney characters to the photos and they would edit the people out in the background so it was perfect. My favorite park was probably Epcot and we stayed there the whole day and then we were trying to stay there till nine to watch the good fireworks but then it started to rain so they could not do them and instead they did a water show. My favorite ride was probably Test Track where a car went 70 miles an hour and we went outside on the ride for a brief moment. I also really liked the ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train which is Grandma Jan's favorite ride I loved the video they took on the ride and of course the music.

Kyle's - Epcot and Test track, Magic Kingdom and castle dining, Polynesian hotel and beach volleyball, boat parade, lego store shopping
