Cross Country

We had the pleasure of drivng with Brian to Alabama this past week. We had so much fun seeing his new location and a good part of the country. Each night we stayed in some nice Marriott hotels thanks to Smart Cookies coupons. They were so appreciated. It made travelling for 10 hours in the car very enjoyable.

We also listened to books on CD the whole way across the country. Pete Sampras and Flags of Our Fathers. They were both interesting but you have to be a tennis fan to appreciate the Pete Sampras one. I came home inspired to write my own book after listening to that. I figured that if someone could write a book entirely about a tennis career then certainly there must be an audience for a person that has had two broken knee caps. Now really, how many other people do you know that can say that.

I thought I was the only one but a young kid at the pool where I swim said that he had done the same thing while snowboarding. I guess I am not so unusual!!!

Anyway, Brian is surrounded by southern hospitality. What an experience. Plus he is engaged to a lovely girl, Taylor Parker. He met her at school this past year. Marriage scheduled for early 2011. Congrats to both of them.

We got to enjoy Nashville one night before we left for home. It is a beautiful city and we loved the White Castle hamburgers. Yummy!!
