Day Trip, part 2

Part 2: Playing hookey.
Some people take a day off work to go play golf.
Me? I take a day off to go play mini-golf...in another city. ;)
Hey, if you're taking the whole day off to play mini-golf, you have to travel at least 2 hours to get there...or be meeting someone who's traveling 2 hours to get there!
Originally we were planning on traveling all the way to Kentucky for Bible Mini-golf, but we found out that they didn't open until 4 pm on Wenesdays, so we nixed that idea. Then, keeping with the mini-golf theme, Perseph and Jerm discovered Magic Mountain and their Magic Buffet in Columbus. (oh, yeah, there's minigolf too. LOL) Since my boss is pretty cool, I was able to request a vacation day the day before I actually took it, so I was in. Perseph got ahold of Karen (who lives in Columbus) and she was able to take a half a day off and join us. Paul and Chris (Karen's husband) thought we were crazy, so they didn't join us. Silly husbands. ;)
...of course, we were quite silly ourselves:
It was a little chilly and windy, but the rain held off so it wasn't too bad. Also, since it was the middle of the week during the school year, we were the only ones on the course. :) I even managed to get a hole-in-one!!
...it's a shame that I ended up coming in dead last. LOL
Here are some more action shots:
Karen and Jerm putting at the first hole
Perseph and Karen
Perseph ended up kicking all of our butts. (alright, Perseph!) We had a great time and decided that we have to come back-even if it's during the weekend when there will be quite a few more people around. One thing we discovered while we were there-when you're the only ones on the course and you give a victory shout, the people who work there will turn and stare at you like you are crazy. ;) Good times, good times! :)
