The rain finally broke yesterday and we had a beautiful (there's that word again) day - a little cool early in the morning, but nice enough that we decided to play golf later in the morning. On Tuesday evening, Trevor came over for dinner and we had a good time with him and Tom III's family eating excellent food, playing some pinochle, and just catching up.
Tom III, Katie, Danny, Vi and I played golf at Copley on Wednesday. It's a nine hole golf course which is in really good shape - helped no doubt by the rain. They had excellent drainage so there was no problem with standing water or soggy areas. It played well and although it was well-used, there was no problem with holding anyone up even though we played as a five-some. I think we covered every inch of the course zig-zagging from side to side. We were shedding windbreakers and sweatshirts as we played, except for the Vermonters who are hardy souls and were wearing shorts to begin with :-).
Today (Thursday) we're heading down to Atlantic City to finish up our trip east (we can't go any further because that big body of water is right there). We had originally planned on heading over to Mary Ann's in New Hampshire, but they don't arrive there from Charleston until Monday and we're getting a little antsy about being gone so long. So over the weekend, we'll head back to Reno, probably take I-70 or some similar route back just so we don't have to take I-80 or I-90 again. There's got to be a blue road out there that goes in that direction. We'll see how it works out.
It'll be interesting to see how Atlantic City has changed over the years - a lot of the casinos have closed down. In any event, it'll be great fun to be on the boardwalk and enjoy the experience of the shore. Don't think we'll get to any of my old haunts in New Jersey - it's probably nicer to remember them as they were.
