This was our first of hopefully many trips to watch the tennis tournament, often called the 'fifth' slam because of its popularity with the big names in professional tennis. June coordinated with Steve and her sister Kelli (and Stevie) to meet and share a nice rental home provided by one of Steve's friends. June's kids also came up for the weekend. It all worked out perfectly.
We all arrived on Friday and attended the weekend night sessions. I played a round of golf at Mission Hill CC with Garrett and Olan on Saturday.
Then on Monday, June and I went to the day session and baked in the hot sun watching Andy Murray beat someone badly. After that, we got in the car (with all our belongings stuffed in the back in the parking lot), and drove to Mike's place in Surprise.
In 2016, we again attended the Indian Wells tennis tournament, but it was part of a much bigger Southwest tour vacation.
