In the spirit of getting back to regular posting on Gretchen 2.0, I wanted to share one of the highlights of my last month, which was Carolyn's and my trip to Bella Vista, Arkansas.
Why does one go to Bella Vista, you might ask? Well, maybe because you work at Wal Mart or are visiting Wal Mart. But it turns out the Greater Bentonville area has a lot to offer, including a GREAT golf scool, let by former LPGA player, Beverly Williams. Beverly's classes are a great value and she is an outstanding teacher too! We think women will especially enjoy Beverly's style and gentle reminders, such as "The gas is in the a*s!" To see more about her golf programs and sign up you can visit http://www.iabv.com/iabvgolf.html.
If business is taking you to the greater Wal Mart area, why stay at Holiday Inn when you can stay at the Inn at Bella Vista (http://www.iabv.com) for about the same price! Plus, the breakfasts are MUCH better. The cinnamon roll French toast and blueberry pecan pancakes with peaches won our stomachs over, though I am not sure they helped with our golf game.
We found several fun things to do in Bella Vista and Bentonville, mostly which were related to food. We liked Blackboards Cafe in Bella Vista and Bella Napoli in Bentonville. For great gift ideas, visit Par Hillard and T at Dogwood Hills pottery (www.dogwoodhillspottery.com).

Now the burning question: Is my golf game any better? Eric Harslem will attest, absolutely not. But I haven't quit yet and I'm sticking with it.
