my favorite hobbies

I decided to write about my favorite hobbies for this week's blog. Growing up as a kid, I played baseball, golf and tennis. I played baseball and golf for a while then concentrated on playing tennis. I played in competitive junior tennis tournaments all over the South. I played in tournaments in Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia etc. I met a lot of good people doing this and many are now playing division I college tennis. I even know a couple who are now playing professionally on the tour.
I also like to fish. There are many good places to fish in this state. I have been fishing since I was a little kid. Theres nothing more peaceful to me than to go fishing. Its a good way to just relax and enjoy nature. Its also fun to get a big group of friends together to go fishing.
I also enjoy playing golf. It is another good way of relaxing and enjoying being outside, especially in the summertime.
Like many people, I also enjoy going to the beach. Destin and Gulf Shores are both awesome palces to go to for a vacation. While there, you can catch some waves, eat some good seafood and enjoy just relaxing on the beach. The restaurants at those palces are also really good. One time I went to Destin with a group of friends and we all stayed in a condo right on the beach. It was a great time. There are always a lot of vacationers at both of those places.
Another thing I like to do is to travel. I have been to a bunch of different places in this country. My favorite place that I have ever been to is probably to Colorado skiing. While of course it is freezing cold, being out there on the slopes is a lot of fun.
