We arrived home at 4 this afternoon, exhausted, but happy! It was a great mini vacation, jammed pack full of activities. Along with the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame yesterday, we were able to play a round of "Goofy Golf." It became a little tense as Doug was easily the winner, Brett had at least ten putts circle the hole and bounce out, and Cam found it to be the most challenging miniature golf course he had ever played. Ice cream at Coldstone Creamery was next on our agenda, so no one could stay disappointed too long.
We spent the evening at a Hampton Inn a block off of the Bowling Green State University campus. Cal and Doug were able to play a round of nine while Cam and Meg swam and Brett read. On this trip Brett was able to finish a memoir of Pope Frances and several chapters of American Betrayal in the hope of soon starting Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Heinisch children were thrilled to see a Buffalo Wild Wings right outside our hotel room window in the parking lot. Dinner was spent there soaking in the Ohio sports atmosphere and boneless wings.
We were up early today, so that Cam, Meg, Brett and I could take in the Toledo Zoo. It was a great experience. Cam loved the gorilla that was sitting in the window ready for a picture and the hippos enjoying a bath. Brett's favorite was the orangatun and Meg enjoyed the polar bears. Doug and Cal were happy to be able to take in another round of golf, before we headed home.
Overall, it was great to get away. Pretty soon the demands of school will end our summer jaunts. Until then, we will enjoy these carefree days!
