We drove to Grove City, Pennsyvania on Thursday and spent a couple of hours at the outlet mall there. It was fun and a nice way to relax. After that we drove the rest of the way to our hotel. We're staying at the Hampton. After unpacking, we set out to explore. We're not that far away from the Kent State University. We went to this place called 101 Bottles of Beer where Ralph stocked up on a few different kinds of beer for the weekend. They had so many varieties. He looked for bottles with different beer caps on them as Kira asked if we could help them by collecting some for their collection. After that we drove into town and found a nice restaurant for dinner. We went to a place called Bar 145. The food was casual but really delicious. We ate outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. On Friday, we drove into Cleveland and did some exploring. It's a nice city to visit. We went to this place called B.A. Sweetie Candy Company. It was huge!! This store had over 3,500 different candies, many that we grew up with and no longer see. It was amazing. It brought back childhood memories for us. We enjoyed a really great lunch at Dickys BBQ pit. It was soooo good. In the afternoon we strolled through an Outlet Mall in Aurora, Ohio. It was really nicely laid out and a nice way to spend some time while we waited for our afternoon tee time.
We then played a round of golf at Boulder Creek Golf Course. What a great course!! It was so nicely laid out and very scenic. It was quite challenging. The course was very busy, so the round took about 4.5 hours to complete. That was ok as we were enjoying the beautiful day. We had some thunder that was rumbling around while we were there, but no rain happened and we didn't see any lightening.
We finished our day by having dinner at Ray's Place. This was a pub in town. It was nice and relaxed which we really enjoyed.
Tomorrow, we'll be up early as the tee times at the Bridgestone Invitational start by 7:00 a.m. Since Phil Mickelson isn't doing really well - he'll be teeing off in the earlier groups so we want to be sure to be there early to see him. We're really looking forward to seeing all the different players at this tournament.
