This year for Memorial day we started a few exciting traditions. Matt, Lemmon and I drove to Jackson to enjoy the long weekend with family. My dad flew in as well and we got to enjoy some quality family time, competitive activities and good food. Highlights below:
1. Friday: Arrived Friday evening and had a long family dinner at Keifers (greek food)
2. Saturday: Early morning walk for Lemmon, Brunch at Broad Street, Shopping (Boys went to the driving range), relaxing outside, dinner and fun at the casino in Vicksburg.
The MS river was really high - so fun to see.
3. Sunday - Another early morning walk with Lemmon (Matt went solo). 8:27
and 8:34 tee times for the "First Annual Nathan Trifone (Invite Only) Golf Scramble". Sporting Sky Caddie blue and navy shorts was Team Nathan (Nathan, John and Alex). Team Mark "aka Sunday Red" included Mark, Linda and Matt. Friendly trash talk has been going on the last 3 months - and as Nathan wrote in several emails "this is a competitive scramble." After a full 18 Team Mark won 79 to 80
.
Golf was followed by LOTS of resting and our first dinner party at Nathan's new house (which is so perfect for him!!!) He cooked a Trifone classic: Spaghetti!
4. Memorial Day Monday: Errands, Shopping and a 6 hour BBQ. Mark and his sous chefs made smoked ribs, homemade BBQ sauce, Baked, homemade Mac n' Cheese, Corn on the Cob and his own special coleslaw with apples. Delicious! (I have plenty more pictures but this blog is long enough!)5. Tuesday: A long drive home with a tired puppy. What a great weekend away.
Love it! What a great weekend!
