First: Our house sold! If you were thinking about making an offer...too late! Yeah...there is nothing like Spring in Spokane. Once that grass starts to turn green and the little buds start popping out on the trees...the natives get restless and start to buy homes!
Second: And I'm not complaining here, but ~ why am I stuck on 78 when golfing? 6 rounds this year and all of them 78 but one...a 77! Today it was the par 3's and the 30 mph wind with a little rain and sleet mixed in. This year is starting like last year's golf season...WET.
Third: I just got back from a tour of the northern mid west. I flew into Grand Rapids, MI and then rented a car for a road trip to Green Bay, WI. Just a heads up...there is a ton of traffic in Chicago. Oh yeah, if you ever drive around that area be prepared to pay tolls. I had to stop at 5 different toll booths while cruising through Indiana.
Also, do you really realize how big Lake Michigan is? I flew over Chicago and made a wide bank over the lake and then back into O'Hare Airport. It felt like I was over the ocean! I started to think about it and even though Lake Michigan is only the 3rd largest Great Lake...it is longer than the drive from Spokane to Seattle.
Fourth: If you have never been to Green Bay...you have to go just to see Lambeau Field. I'm not even a Packers fan but there was something special about seeing Lambeau. It was an interesting sensation seeing that stadium up close after watching the "battles on the frozen tundra" in front of a TV on a cozy warm couch. Tons of history within those walls and lots of pride for the folks in Green Bay. Pretty cool. Just been a sports fan and getting to see it was impressive! The stadium just kind of rises out of the earth and looms over Green Bay like an enormous watchdog.
To get to my hotel I drove down Lombardi, crossed Holmgren and Favre's Ways, turned on Reggie White Drive and then turned on Tony Canadeo Run!
I also went to Brett Favre's Steakhouse for dinner. That was a cool experience too. They had all kinds of Brett Favre memorabilia there. They even had license plates from all over the country with Packers and Favre slogans.
