Last week in review.

Last week on vacation, I made sure I hit the links. Ocean City has so many courses to choose from. We played Old Pro Temple of the Dragons at 23rd Street. It's a made-over course that back in the days before any sort of sensitivity training -- you know, back when nearly all vacationers at many beach towns were white -- used to be some sort of tropical theme, with very inappropriate "native" wire and plaster sculptures and assorted cannibal themed obstacles. Some of that survives, and I should have taken pictures, but most of the course has been converted, if not updated, to some bizarre dragon sacrifice theme. Picture Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom meets no special effects budget.

Since I won a free game there, we were obligated to play another Old Pro course. My son wanted to play Old Pro Dinosaur golf at 69th Street, and we did. Here's a picture of me and our daughter reading the hole to determine our best tee shots:

Most of the time we spent on the beach, though. On Friday our son was complaining he was cold and we couldn't figure out why, although it was windy. Turns out he had a nasty fever and chills.

Poor thing. He fell asleep at the dinner table. Both of the kids had a great time and enjoyed the water very much. Our son got a body board and basically took to it as though he'd used on all his life. Our daughter isn't so big yet, but she enjoyed being held in the water. And rolling in the sand.

And through it all we only visited Thrasher's once.
