Here's the awesome stuff I did this year.
 |
| The journey begins... |
 |
| I learned that "moderate" isn't a dirty word at Disney... |
 |
| I also learned the "magic" still happens, when we were tapped for a free Wishes Cruise |
 |
| We paid a visit to Gloria Estefan's Costa d'Este Resort in Vero Beach. The rhythm didn't get us, but this did... |
 |
| Deej's Florida Swing visited 5 prominent golf resorts around the Sunshine State. This was the highlight... |
 |
| Welcome to Atlanta |
 |
| MJ joined 60,000 other crazies in the Peachtree Road Race... |
 |
| While I did this... |
 |
| Welcome to the Golden State |
 |
| We biked across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. |
 |
| And the reward later that night was this... |
 |
| We had a serious misadventure on the cable cars... |
 |
| And toasted the City by the Bay from Top of the Mark |
 |
| Never thought I'd see this... |
 |
| Or this... |
 |
| Or this.... |
 |
| Or that I'd hit the shot of my life here... |
 |
| A day and a guy I'll never forget. My caddie, Big Tony |
 |
| The incredible Point Lobos State Park |
 |
| We stopped for cheeseburgers here... |
 |
| Just passing through.... |
 |
| The Pigeon Point Lighthouse |
 |
| The highlight of our drive up Highway 1, crossing the Golden Gate this time by car. |
 |
| Welcome to Napa |
 |
| The garden at The French Laundry |
 |
| Having some fun on the Napa Valley Wine Train |
 |
| MJ waving to her adoring fans. |
 |
| Toasting at Cakebread on our 16 mile bike ride through the valley. |
 |
| Anyone want to rob Caymus? |
 |
| A final toast - or 6 - to Napa at Chateau Montelena. |
 |
| I encountered some scary things on the golf course this year. Like this... |
 |
| And this... |
 |
| We rode out a tropical storm at an awesome hotel... |
 |
| And paid a visit to our previously undiscovered capital. |
 |
| I learned that St. Petersburg is wacky yet awesome at the same time. |
 |
| And discovered some history I didn't know existed just a couple hours away on St. Simons Island. |
 |
| And of course, there was also plenty of Disney. |
 |
| While its not every day you scratch #1 on your bucket list, Pebble Beach still wasn't the best part of 2012. |
 |
| This was.... |
No doubt about it, 2012 was one of the best yet. Of course, it is hard to find fault with any year that includes becoming an uncle and a visit to Pebble Beach. As always, most of it wouldn't be possible were it not for two people.... The incomparable MJ for being my biggest fan and for being so supportive of this 60 hour a week hobby. The other person that makes all of this possible is you. Extending a thank you in this annual post doesn't go far enough to show my gratitude for each and every time you visit The World of Deej. My New Year's resolution is to do a better job of showing that appreciation, but until then....
Enjoy Your Stay
