The Masters

Our good friends Keri and Patrick live in North Augusta, SC.  Patrick called Bert on Tuesday afternoon, the day before we were supposed to leave for the Myrtle Beach for a mini family vacation (we were going to the beach with Keri, Patrick and their kids and staying at Patrick's family's condo) and let him know that he had two tickets for Wednesday at the Masters.  We thought about it for just a minute, but decided that it was totally worth it to drive down there Tuesday night and postpone getting to the beach by a few hours.  Bert loves all things sports, so I didn't want him to miss an opportunity to go to such a prestigious golf course/tournament. 

Here are a few pictures from their day...

I can't even believe they were this close to these big name golfers...

Many of the players had their families as their caddies for the Par Three Tournament on Wednesday afternoon.  Bert said it was really fun to see the kids run around and the players be so laid back.

Absolutely beautiful!!  

Bert and Patrick

Thanks so much to Patrick for offering Bert  the ticket!  He had such a great time, and the girls and I had fun hanging out with Keri, Kayley and Jackson!  The guys left August National early in the afternoon so that we could hit the road to Myrtle Beach before all four kids were ready for a nap.  It was a fun day!!:)
