vacation part 1

This is going to be my diary of our winter get away. I will not feel affended if you are bored.
We left home on Friday, drive to Colorado Springs, Co. Stayed at the first Super 8 we found. It happened to be the one we stayed in the last time we were there. Even had the same manager.
On Saturday we toured the Olympic training center. Then we drove on to Albequrque, NM and spent the night in another Super 8.
On Sunday we checked the weather to make sure Flagstaff was not in any type of snow warning. Weather was great and we spotted a small herd of elk Just outside of Flagstaff. Drove on to Sedonia. Found another Super 8. Getting off the interstate was one of the best accidental turns we ever took. The beauty around Sedonia was breathtaking.
Monday we drove on into Glendale and upgraded our motel to Quality Inn. We couldn't get into our condo until Tuesday, so we drove around the area and found our condo.
Tuesday we checked out the area until time to get into the condo and moved all our stuff in. Checked supplies and went to pick up what groceries we would need.
Wednesday we kind of hung out and tried to get settled. Took 2 trips to Best Buy and a call to Cox cable to get the laptop connected.
Thursday we had planned to go to the PGA tournament, but the unusually cold weather kept us away. We did find an executive course and played 9 holes in the afternoon.
Friday I played golf with Marilyn R, DiAnn, P, and Phyllis H. While Jerry played with Leroy, Dale R and Andy P. We had drinks, munchies and pizza at Heiers after the golf.
Saturday we finally got to the PGA tournament. We decided if we ever went again it would not be on Saturday. There were to many people that were there to party. I'm not sure some of them even knew a tournament was going on.
Sunday we went to a Chocolate Affaire in downtown Glendale. It was the usual vendors, music and displays of most festivals. The weather had finally warmed up to what we expected this area to be like. Watched the PGA and Super Bowl on TV.
We had planned to go to the PGA to watch the final round, but since they did get over half of the holes played we decided to watch it on TV. I checked out some golf on the internet and found a bargain for Wednesday. So far so good
