My Grandnephew, James Renville is a multi-talented guy. When he and his dad, James Renville’s team finished 1st in the 10 Ball pool league, the won a trip to Las Vegas USAPL National Championship. The trip was all expense paid, and the guys had a great time. It isn’t often that James and his dad get to take a trip together, and that made this even more special. Playing pool on a team together has really been great for James and Jim. James also took a trip with his dad to Florida to watch the world nationals, called the Mosconi Cup. It was a 9-ball pool tournament. It was a big surprise Christmas present to his dad. James flew both of them out to Orlando Florida to watch it. He accidentally got tickets on the European side of the tournament though, so that was a pretty funny little side note. I can just see it now…cheering for what appears to be the opposite team, at least when it comes to the side you are sitting with. Nevertheless, I can imagine the guys saw the humor in the situation and got a good laugh out of it.
James’ mom, Toni Chase and stepdad, Dave Chase have also done some traveling with James and his wife, Manuela this past year, taking a trip to Glacier National Park last July 4th. They did a bunch of hiking and touring, and everyone had a great time. James has long loved to travel, so any trip is a big deal for him, but Glacier National Park is a special trip from any point of view. And as for snow and mountains, James and 
Manuela decided to take a stab at snowshoeing this year. That may not seem like such a big deal, but since Manuela immigrated from Columbia, loving the snow is not exactly natural to her. Nevertheless, she seems to have taken to the Northern weather pretty well.
James and Manuela have been saving up for a trip to Columbia this year. James’ birthday is on the same day as Manuela’s mom’s birthday. That has made their relationship special, and because Manuela’s mom is turning 50 this year, it is a big deal. They plan to have a celebration together for it. James had a great time on their first trip to Columbia, and he is very much looking forward to this trip too. Today is James’ birthday. Happy birthday James!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
