This past weekend we avoided the strong summer thunderstorms that blew through our area, and managed to have quite a bit of fun disc golfing, and then later on going to a local vineyard for a wine tasting, some BBQ and a little live music. This summer Eric and I have visited a number of disc golf courses throughout Delaware. Many of the state parks have disc golf courses that host tournaments, but luckily for us, they are also open to the public! Our most recent disc golfing adventure took place at Killens Pond State Park, in Felton (website). We aren't very good (yet!), but we have fun, and we are at about the same skill level, so we typically compete against each other, rather than par. This time I had my camera and so I was able to get a few pictures during our time at Killens Pond.
Eric was the one who lost his discs this time!
He was also our trusted score keeper.
In the end Eric won by one stroke, but we both had fun.
After an afternoon of disc golfing we drove up to Dover (aka civilization) and Eric was finally able to find a new pair of flip flops that he liked. This may seem like a silly thing to point out, but we have been searching for ones that he likes pretty much all summer! After getting Eric some new shoes, we headed down to Marydel for a stop at one of our favorite places in Delaware, Harvest Ridge Winery.
This was our second trip to the relatively new winery, and we were not disappointed. We started with a wine tasting during which we had the opportunity to try a few new wines that we hadn't been able to try last time. This time around we didn't get to take a tour of the facilities, but there were a number of other items on our agenda that needed to be taken care of.
There was a food truck at the winery that evening serving some very yummy BBQ!
We also got to play some corn hole (we were horrible) and listen to some live music.
After a wonderful day out and about in Delaware we headed home to enjoy the rest of our weekend. Little did I know how much I should have appreciated every second of that relaxation, because this week... it is all about the dentist for me.
Today I had a regular dentist appointment (which was far overdue) to get a check up. Thankfully, because of summer vacation, my schedule for follow up appointments is very flexible. Little did I know how thankful I would be for this flexibility. Over the past two weeks I had been experiencing some tooth pain, which ultimately resulted in me being unable to get hardly any sleep last night. At my appointment today my thoughts were confirmed and I will be getting to spend the rest of the week going to a variety of other appointments. Tomorrow I have an evaluation with an endodontist to address two potential root canals (yuck), then Thursday I head back to the dentist for (potentially) three fillings, and Friday I will be back once again for a cleaning. After that I will likely have more appointments to address the root canal issue, but it sure looks like the rest of my summer will be spent in dental chairs. I just hope that I am able to get everything taken care of before the school year starts.
Thankfully Eric got a clean report and only has to go back to get a cleaning at the beginning of September. We always seem to be opposites of each other, the perfect pair. Like our wine selections last weekend. So here is a toast to the rest of your summer, may it be fair less painful than mine!
