Stories From TOG’s Leadership Team
Jude Olinger
It has been a while since we have visited with our close friends in Nice, France. We decided a trip to see them was in order. The best times were spent soaking up the evening air while enjoying outdoor meals - simple, delicious and slowing down our pace. While there, we decided to take a side trip to Barcelona, Spain. Here we are exploring the Sagrada Familia.

Leading up to any trip, we really enjoy the exercise of learning all about the culture, food, etc. It is like going on a vacation before the vacation. This is how we approached visiting France. Our goal was to see what it is like to be a local and have authentic experiences. Besides attempting to speak French (We butchered it!), staying in an old cottage owned by a local winemaker and meeting local cultivators were highlights. Here, the winemaker shared a peak into the cellar with bottles as old as 1865!

Our family made memories every week by spending time in a new location with family we hadn’t seen in years. From white water rafting in North Carolina, cookouts in Pittsburgh, a poolside weekend in Scottsdale, witnessing small-town firework shows, boating in the Appalachians, to experiencing joy through our daughter’s eyes while riding roller coasters for the first time, we did a bit of everything! Some of the most fun was the simplicity of playing boards games at night. I am most grateful for my daughter experiencing a carefree, memory-filled summer that we will talk about forever.

Our Summer Live Well involves soaking up the long summer evenings outdoors. It is a time when we can have picnic dinners on the porch, or at the beach. We treat the family to lots and lots of ice cream cones from our favorite neighborhood joint, or from what we hand cranked with our old school relic of an ice cream maker. Pulling the telescope out to look at the stars tops it off.

To Live Well is to experience once in a lifetime opportunity with my children. My son and I embraced this in the Dominican Republic before he graduated from High School. It was a great trip and a special time with him.

It is all about family time, and a large one at that. Beach week with the whole family is an adventure, even if it is just relaxing and enjoying our time together. Of course, I always make time for golf!
