New Places, New Faces

A few weeks ago we were fortunate enough to find some new local places to enjoy. Below are some pictures from our Friday night hangout, Vine and Barley. It's a great new spot in St. Lucie West that features a very wide variety of specialty beers and wines. The wine is set up in machines that dispense different size portions. You grab a glass, and a card that resembles a hotel key card, find a wine you like and select the size portion you would like to try. The beers are poured from the taps behind the bar or from the typical bottle. This type of beer and wine bar is great, it really lends to a very social atmosphere. Everyone mingles all night and occasionally you will bump into a new person trying the same wine as you, and start up a conversation. We will certainly miss this while we're traveling. We've also been fortunate enough to have some new faces join our little group. A very close friend and sorority sister of mine lives just five minutes from Jim and I. Missy has been a great addition to our local group and she comes with some very good baggage, Nikki and Rachel. They live in Melbourne and travel down on the weekends to spend time with us all. We've also added Seth to our group. Seth is doing an internship at the PGA Learning Center and working with our very good friend Rich. Ryan and Leah have also been a wonderful new addition to our group. Ryan and Leah are in the Thursday night bowling league with Rich. Ryan also works at the PGA Golf Club. We spent the night before these pictures were taken celebrating Dad's birthday at our local Carabba's. We will be leaving for Australia and New Zealand tomorrow and will be back in the states on March, 16th. I hope to be able to blog while overseas, but may have some troubles with pictures! If anyone is interested in getting in touch with us, please email us or send a text message to our email. We will be able to access text messages sent via email to our phone while overseas. Yes, this is possible, simply type in our email address then type your text message and send. The golf will be televised for all three weeks. All broadcasts will come from the golf channel. We hope to hear from everyone and see you all as soon as possible.

I miss every one I wish I was there with you. But alas I am going to Potter County to ride my snowmobile there is more snow now. That is the only consolation for me not being with all my family

The picture of Steve is exactly how I remember him. He is probably trying to tell anyone that will listen to him about the current stimulus plan and how Hussein Obama was born in Kenya and not a real citizen!
