We went to a great place in Erie to eat dinner. It was the Summerhouse Cafe. The food was delicious. I had soup, chicken alfredo and a delicious chocolate raspberry cake. My husband had salmon cakes. See the following pictures of the yummy food.
When we got back to the hotel, SJ and I went down to the pool. He swam in the pool for over an hour. After he was done, we went back to the room and watched television until bed. Bob's first game was very early in the morning. I took Bob to his game and left SJ with my husband. Bob's team didn't do too well. They lost 10-2. After the game, we drove back to the hotel and had breakfast in the hotel with SJ and my husband.
We had a few hours until his next game. We decided to enjoy the beautiful day. We drove to Presque Isle and SJ went into the water. Even though it was nice out, it was a little chilly. The chilliness was not going to stop SJ from getting in the water. He frolicked in the water for an hour while my husband, Bob and myself watched him from the shore.
After he was too cold to keep going in the lake, we left the lake and stopped at a pub for lunch. It had a colorful name and outside tables, so we decided to stop. It was called the Ugly Tuna. The boys had chicken strips and fries and my husband and I shared a Haddock sandwich. It was very good. See for yourself.
When we finished up lunch, we drove back to the hotel and got ready to return for Bob's second soccer game. SJ was not exactly thrilled to go to the game, but that is why we were there. We got to the game and SJ was complaining the minute that we got there. We told him we were there to support Bob and he needed to be done complaining. He sat in his chair and played his 3DS while my husband and I watched Bob play soccer. Bob's team did much better in the second game. They won 4-0. Yeah Bob!
After the game, we left Edinboro and went back to the hotel room. Bob was very tired, so he planted himself on the bed to rest. While he and my husband were resting, SJ spotted a couple getting married in the courtyard. He was fascinated by it. He asked me to come and watch with him. We stood there for the longest time watching the ceremony. Suddenly, I noticed a guest with a large camera taking our picture. He was waving at us. I waved back and told SJ we had be spotted. That will be a funny picture in the couple's wedding album.
My husband decided we should go to the local amusement park at Presque Isle, Waldameer Park. We got to the park after 6 p.m. There were still a fair amount of people there, but we didn't have to wait in the lines too long. We decided to eat dinner before we started to ride. The boys and my husband ate pizza, but I ordered pepperoni balls. They were interesting. It was pepperoni stuffed in pizza dough. Yum!
We stayed at the park for a few hours. Bob was not in the mood to ride anything, so he watched SJ share rides with my husband and myself. I wish Bob would have rode something, but he gets very stubborn sometimes. We played some games and then SJ wanted to get a hat. He decided on a Frankenstein hat. He looked so funny in that hat! He and I were in line for the Scrambler. Two boys who were about his age started to laugh at him. I told them he is proud to wear that hat and I am okay with that. They stopped laughing at him and apologized. SJ then struck up a conversation with a boy in line. They talked the whole time we were waiting. It was so nice to see him be social with a stranger.
We went back to the hotel around 9. Bob and I had to get up early for his last game. Since it was so early, I took Bob by myself to the game. They played a tough team and lost. They did very well considering the team they played. They lost 6-0. I was very proud of Bob. We went back to the hotel and picked up SJ and my husband. It was very rainy, so we decided to head home. It was a great getaway weekend.
