Florida Living

Hello everyone! I made it to Florida, it only took two days with some stops along the way. So far everything is going well. I met with my boss for the first time today and we had lunch with him. I don't have much time to post because I am using the computer in the hotel since i am without one. Hopefully I will be able to upload some photos of our drive and the course I will be working at. In case you are wondering why I am saying our, its because my mom made the drive with me so it wouldn't be as bad. We tried to get a photo of every state we crossed into but that was a difficult thing to complete with us driving at night and not really knowing when we would be driving into a new state. Our first stop was just south of Nashville, TN. No hotel for the first night, only slept for about 6 hours at a rest area. It worked out ok since we arrived at St. Augustine in time to see the coast!
This means we also had time to stop in Atlanta to visit Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves! Sorry you Cardinal Fans, we only took pictures of Busch Stadium road side... The facilities at Turner Field were amazing and I cant wait to hopefully go to a game sometime! Next we Finally made it to Florida after another long day of driving. We found a restaurant near our hotel, which I dont think we will ever stay in a place like that again, thanks though dad...So this brings us to the end of our trip, we finally made it to Lake Wales and visited the golf course. Everyone I will be working with seems great. Also I will be living in Winter Haven for the next six months, soon I will be posting my address for all those who might need it.

Everything fit! And I even had vision out of my rear view mirror!Thanks for the treats Emlyn!
Busch Stadium, our first day of driving. thank god for good weather all the way down!

Just thought I would snap a shot of the Air Force Base

Here was our first stop. We tried Steak n Shake for the first time, really not that impressed. McDonalds gets my vote over it any day. I am sure Otis would agree with me

Just proof that we were actually there. We got to visit some amazing places inside the stadium

Thought this would be funny! Sorry for stealing your ideas, but i saw the statues and just had to do it.

Not quite the real pose, but close enough!

Here is a view from the press box! pretty amazing. Sorry emlyn, no penny press. They put them away for the season already!

I think I could play for the Braves someday!


This was the beach that was right out front of our hotel. To bad the view wasn't a reflection of our hotel room
Now to where i will be working... the course is in amazing shape and looks really fun to play. Here is a picture of a floating tee box for hole #11 I believe. Not for sure though


This is the Colony House off of hole #18 which is also called Colony House. it is where people can stay when they come visit. Only $400 a night...
 More pictures will be coming of the course as soon as I have more time. I will take photos of where I will be staying also, the first couple of nights will be at a members guest house. He said the view is the best in Florida from my bed room. More pictures are on the way soon.
Miss you Emlyn and can't wait for you to come and visit!
