When my mother got through her second bout with cancer I thought it would be good to do something really special for her. She is a golfing freak so I thought the best thing would be to give her a trip to Pebble Beach, one of the premiere golf courses in the world. That promise will come to fruition in late April when she first goes to see Jenny, Tom and the boys in Walla Walla. Then she will come down to see us, with her sister flying up from Los Angeles.
We were going to go to Pebble. But it's now changed into going to several smaller courses, around the Bay Area, and up in the wine region of Sonoma. I'm particularly looking forward to playing the course at Bodega Bay. The views will be absolutely breathtaking. When I went to Mendocino last winter I was in awe of the natural beauty and now I will get to play golf in it. It's a little piece of Irish coastline right in our back yard.
Another nice part of playing on the North Coast is that Lori, Megan and Carlos can tour some wineries or walk around the wonderful cities in Sonoma while we play. Then we can meet up for lunch, winerying (?) and dinner.
I think this will be a nice treat for mom. She has been through a lot and she deserves a nice time out with her family doing something she really enjoys.
