Could things get any better??

I will admit that being able to attend this wonderful event made me feel like Cinderella!  How else could a small town girl, get to go to something so fun and exciting and see so many professional golfers and celebrities??   And be so entertained! 

On our last day at The Vinny, I slept in and rested up for the big event that night.  We were to be guest of Vince and Amy at a party held at their home.  Some might say that getting to do that is the icing on the cake.  And it is.  That was the crown on my little small town girl head.  Of course I had gone to the event last year, but still, it was great  just being there and getting to mingle with the stars and tour the beautiful home of Vince and Amy.  This year we got to go inside Vince's music studio and see his collection of guitars.  It was quite remarkable.  I met Nikko Smith while in the studio and told him how I got together with a group of couples every week and watched American Idol.  He seemed to think that was neat.

You can see the guitar lined up along all the walls

One of the most talked about rooms in the house was the bathroom just across the hall from Vince's studio.  It can be best described as a golf bathroom.  It is filled with pictures and plaques about golf.  Golf pictures signed by some of the greats.  One of my favorites was a famous picture of Ben Hogan hitting a shot down the fairway with a large crowd on both sides of the fairway.   It was funny to see someone's reaction when you walked out of the bathroom after being in there for so very long.  It takes a while to read all the walls.  lol

There was a huge tent set up in their back yard and that is where the meal was being served.  The food was from Carrabba's.  It was delicious.  We sat a large round tables that would hold at least ten people.  We invited Steve Bartkowski and his wife to join us since they were walking around looking for a place to sit.  So we waved him over and he and his wife were a lot of fun.  He was such a nice person, kept getting us drinks and desserts and we got to talk to him and his wife for a good while.
Most of the night was spent just "star" gazing!!
