Scotland - A Clark Family Vacation

Well, this past September the Clark Clan descended on Scotland for a family vacation.

To say the least, it was fantastic. Scotland truly lived up to all that Brad and I hoped that it would be. We spent a little over a week there and had the opportunity to do many things. We stayed in Pitlochry - a great town in the central part of the country. We visited just about every castle in the region, learned how to drive on the opposite side of the road (and voted as a family that Tom Clark was not allowed to drive), learned how to blow glass, discovered how whiskey is made at Edradour Distrillery - one of the smallest in the world, stayed at a beautiful former manor home (large white home in picture), toured the country side, attended the Highland Games and had time for some shopping (of course). All together, it was a wonderful trip not only to see where Brad's ancestry came from, but to enjoy it all with family.

Ode To Journey....The Greatest Band EVER!

This last week I had the opportunity to reconnect with one of my dearest high-school friends that I (without excuse) lost touch with over the years. It was so awesome catching up with her and in tribute to our friendship I had to post this picture which, ironically I had to take while in LA this past May. So, Tina if you read this I hope you remember the good old days of riding around in "Priscilla" without air conditioning and blaring Journey on the portable tape player because the one in the car was broken , of course.

The Ashmore Lectureship

Drs. Coykendall, Mittelstaedt, Clark & Bailey

The Ashmore Lectureship is the "big" event of the year for the surgical residents of Greenville Memorial Hospital. This event occurs every June where the program bids goodbye to the fifth year residents as they depart to start their own practices or fellowship. For the ladies, its an opportunity to dress-up! Here are a few pics: Brad and the guys in his year and one of the wives.

The Meat Doctors

So the actual doctors decided to compete as "The Meat Doctors" in one of the Southeast's biggest BBQ Festivals this past June - The Blue Ridge BBQ Festival to be exact. To sum up the weekend's events: Personalized team scrubs $200; Awesome BBQ prepared by our very own "Master Baster" $400; Team Signage $30; Watching Dr. Matt McCreary spin around on top of a piece of plywood like a breakdancer....PRICELESS!

Glendale or Beverly Hills....Is There a Difference?

Well, as some of you may know, Brad and I recently took a trip out to California to visit family and do a little vacationing. We spent some time in LA, Glendale (because according to my grandparents, Glendale is not the same as LA) and San Diego. Here are a few pics from the trip.
