Golf Weekend Up-North

So thankful for golfgrouper for an amazing golf deal!!  Ryan and I packed up and headed up to Arcadia for a weekend away and full of golfing at Crystal Mountain - 3 rounds of 18 planned! I've never golfed more than 18 in a weekend much less than golf 3 rounds in about 24 hours!  But Ryan loves to golf and I like to golf and love being with him - so I thought it was a great idea. 

We got a to spend a relaxing more in Arcadia on Saturday - of course with a trip to Amish store for some goodies and of course cinnamon rolls for breakfast!  YUMMY!  Then geared up for our first round.  After a dreary, rainy morning, the clouds parts and the sun came out - an absolutely beautiful fall day!  We both played really well and had a few drinks - met some new people (being a 2-some we got paired with some older guys - very nice, okay golfers too).  After the round, back to the cottage for the night.  I had packed wine and champagne and all kinds of snacks for dinner... so we hunkered in for the night and relaxed - something we definitely don't do enough of. 



Then up at the crack of dawn for our 1st of 2 rounds - first tee time... 7:30!   This is what it looked like when we were driving there! 





But we finished in 3 hours and were then able to relax before our 2nd tee time.  Our 2nd tee time, I golfed the best I've ever golfed!  98 for the round!!  WOO HOO!  Only thanks to my great coach, Ryan, and my new birthday present driver (who has been named Stella).  We finished about 4:30 and it was back to cottage to clean up and get Joey and head home. 



Amazing weekend and we both realized we must do it more often! 

Funniest moment of the trip!
Ryan trying to reach through the windshield of the golf cart - it wasn't open!  Had to be there but it's still making me laugh!
