Teeing off in Texas

We decided to start the Spring off right and get in a few rounds of early golf. We traded in our timeshare for a townhouse in the woods at a place 3hrs east of Dallas TX called Holly Lake Ranch. It was a gated community for Texans wishing to get away from the concrete jungle and head for the hills and the “cabin in the woods” experience. We were glad to have our Tomtom GPS to guide us on those dark country backroads. Our place was lovely and we were surprised that it had no highspeed or blackberry service. It was a true getaway for us.

CMResort.jpgMartha and I have joined the Bakos for a spur of the moment three day golfing getaway. Nick had reserved a beautiful and spacious two bedroom suite at the Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville, MI. Located in the NW corner of lower Michigan, it is an area that we have not previously enjoyed. So far we have been blessed with amazing weather and vistas of the surrounding golf resort. You can check out a few of our pictures here. Continue reading →

Dirty Don’s Oysters and Margaritas

We hopped on the bus around 4pm so we could catch all the happy hour specials up and down the strip. We ended up at a place on 21st called Dirty Don’s Oyster Bar and proceeded to consume a pitcher of lime Margaritas, 1½ dozen raw oysters, 1½ dozen hot wings, ½ dozen jumbo shrimp, and an order of chicken planks. They even gave me a free t-shirt! By the time I got out of there my lips were burning and my speech was slightly slurred. We had a great time and then decided to cross the street and try our hand at mini-golf. I think Tom and I played our best game ever and Laura was ticked she couldn’t beat her inebriated parents.
