Abu Dhabi Golf Tournament

One of the great things about living in a bigger city is all the fabulous events that happen.  One of the great things about being an American who, living in a bigger city overseas – is being able to attend these events up close and personal when locals could care less!

Brian, the kids and I spent a couple days at the Abu Dhabi Golf Tournament and saw all sorts of great golf pros up close.  We watched them drives balls far and putt up close (alright that’s it for my golf terms).  So it was still neat to be there…..

Even if you’re not big on golf (or tabloids about celebrity sex scandals), you should still recognize Tiger……
