    Got cabin fever, so we took advantage of a few rare days of good weather to camp at Deception Pass on Puget Sound. A bit chilly in the tent at night (mid 30s) but no rain or wind. This is the time that the snow geese winter in the Skagit Valley, migrating from Wrangell Island in Siberia. They can pretty much fill a field with a large group. We spotted a resting flock yesterday afternoon on our way home and watched them for awhile. They got spooked when an eagle flew overhead and started taking off in mass. Looked like a goose blizzard.

    Dang, I misspelled Pielavesi even with that photo hanging just above my computer in the office, LOL. Mrs. Bubblehead is from that area.

    @Sonya, I used to live in Grayland, WA, and worked in Westport. Love that area.

    I've really fallen in love with it. It's a much different speed than Seattle. We keep talking about how nice it would be to have an escape for me out there. For now we rent the condo, but maybe someday. :)

    We had Grayland cranberries on our Thanksgiving table.

    We went for a drive into the hills for lunch today. It wasn't fancy but it sure was good. The lunch guests were pretty cute too.

    We had a great time at Busch Gardens.
    It was a long day, but I'm glad we stayed for the fireworks!

    Played TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course with my two sons yesterday, it was a blast!!!

    136119418_10164564844150504_4255664796710188990_o.jpg

    The day started off slow, but started hitting some decent shots once we settled into the round.

    Shorter tees with the pro tee boxes closed down for the tournament but was still happy to hit the green and get a tap in par on the famed 16th hole. Crowd noise was "minimal" ;)

    Good for you! Been there many a time during the event, played the course leading in, during (pro-am) and the day after, too.

    Happy Aloha Friday. Last week's tour stop as seen in December 2019 right after re-opening following a re-do. From the back tees on #5 looking across to the par-4 7th, and #17, perhaps my favorite hole not otherwise known as Pebble Beach #8. The lack of decent depth-of-field belies how much this thing plummets (the guy in the pink shirt/light shorts on the right is Mark Rolfing):
