My wife decided to work again today, so Troy and I did a guy’s day together. It was the hottest day of the weekend, so we decided to stay close and do some things near the hotel. We headed to Pirate’s Cove mini golf. We’d been seeing it every time we drove by on the way to downtown, and Troy really wanted to check it out. We grabbed our balls and clubs and headed to the course.
It was pretty neat the way they did things. There were caves, waterfalls, dead pirates in cages, and even a pirate ship. And at every hole, there were facts about pirates. Troy was a little tentative at first, since it was his first time, but he did brilliantly. He even got a hole-in-one on the second hole! I was so proud of him, and we had a great time together. At one of the last holes, Troy pretended to be the ball while I whacked him down the course…in eight strokes…it was so embarrassing. I can’t believe it took me that many strokes.
After golf, we went to The Purple Cow for lunch. The service was great, but the food was so-so. The fries were a little salty, and the burger was a little well-done. They also nickeled and dimed you for every change or add-on. But since we were there, we decided to get one of their famous purple shakes. For Halloween, they also offered to throw in some chocolate gravestones, sour worms, and spiders in an Oreo crumble graveyard.
We were both so stuffed, that we went back to the hotel to rest and let our food settle. We started watching Ghostbusters: Afterlife, but we fell asleep on the couch cuddling each other. It was a nice long rest, and when I woke up, I found my wife sleeping too.
It was pretty late in the afternoon, but we still wanted to do something, so Troy and I decided to check out the hotel pool. It was a nice indoor pool, but the water was freezing! It was like taking a polar bear bath in Minnesota. Troy and I lasted all of five minutes. He still wanted to swim for some reason, so we decided to take a walk outside to warm up, figuring getting really hot would make the cold water more bearable.
The second time in the pool, we took my wife. The water was still cold, but she lasted a little longer than we did. Troy splashed around in short bursts, then he’d come running to me to warm up, since I refused to get in again. We finished off the night with Domino’s Pizza, because well…they delivered.
We go home tomorrow, and I think we pretty much accomplished everything I set out to do. It’s been a fun and relaxing weekend.
