Memorial Day Weekend

This was our first holiday away from family. It was strange not having the usual family cookout. Daniel and I had a fun and relaxing weekend, though. Friday was a beautiful day, so we decided to have a little picnic at the park. I made some sandwiches and we headed out for a nice evening by the ocean. The warm breeze blowing and the sound of crashing waves against the rocks created a perfect setting for unwinding from the week. We spent Saturday exploring the area around us, taking a drive up into Southern New Hampshire. That area reminds me a lot of Minnesota. Daniel has not been out on the golf course this season so we went to a driving range on Monday. He had a great time hitting a HUGE bucket of balls. They also have a miniature golf course (two actually!), so we played a round. It was a close game, but I beat Daniel! He claims that he let me win, but Daniel is too competitive. Lots of fun! If you know Daniel, you know that he can't say "no" to ice cream. We "had" to finish the afternoon with a bowl/cone of very tasty home-made ice cream.
