"Golf, Misc, The almost Perfect Day!

        Sandi surprised me today by booking 18 Holes of Golf at the Boulder City Golf Course.  We started the day by dropping off Taylor at her last day of School before Spring Break.  It was "Camo" day. Everyone dressed up in their favorite Camouflage attire.  We then finished up some banking and headed up to the Links in Boulder City.  We were fortunate to get hooked up with a couple of great guys in a foursome.  The course was awesome, the day was beautiful and I got fried like a Crab in a steam pot.  Sandi had her best day in forever that I can remember.  I had my usual, one step above Wii Golf, only the real deal.  The cashier remembered me from all the years of the American Legion Golf tournaments and bumped us up way ahead of our Tee Time.  You couldn't have asked for a more peaceful, beautiful day.  Our team mates John and Don were the consummate Gentlemen, yes, what a pleasure, Thanks a ton guys, you made it all worth the five hours of baking in the Sun.  Don, nice Chip in!!!
We headed back to Vegas just in time to pick up Taylor from her school for spring break.  We didn't think we would get there in time but made it with time to spare.
We went home, cleaned up and headed to the Green Valley Hotel and Casino where we used three V.I.P. Tickets to the "Feast" Buffet, I was given by a good friend who works there.  I stuffed myself with BBQ ribs and anything else I could get my hands on.  We stopped at the store and picked up the newest Harry Potter DVD and spent the rest of the night relaxing.  I fell asleep!  May have just overdone it a bit.  We ended up the Night watching Americas Funniest Home Videos. 
The other pics are of Taylor and friends at an Easter Egg Hunt, and at her School Carnival where I spent three straight hours running the huge inflated obstacle course.  That was interesting.  Hundreds of kids running around and me helping them up over the tough spots.  Tiring. 
Today was the closest thing to a Perfect day I have had in a long long time. 
Here are most of the pics, the others are linked to my FaceBook page.  Enjoy!
