Century Club!

We spent our second weekend in Ohio at Pleasant Shores again in Van Wert, Ohio for the Great Lakes Conference Tourney (the last one ever!).  Fortunately for us (maybe unfortunately for Drake), Drake rode with us again as everyone else headed up early. Marshall and I headed up to Oxford in the afternoon after finishing the work day and we headed uptown for "Beat the Clock" at Brick (where we played some Euchre), a stop at the Little Clinic for pink eye drops and to eat at Steinkeller's for German food and beer.

It was another beautiful day in the midwest on Saturday. We went for a little hike at a nature preserve before heading to the "B lake" and watching Drake do trick. We spent the some time on at the lake (where Drake watched Miami lose via my phone) and then came back to the hotel room to watch Nebraska (and the Cougs) lose..... Marshall and I went to the local sports bar for pizza and beer before calling it a night. 

On Sunday, the skiing was delayed due to rain so we busied ourselves with shopping at Walmart, grabbing coffee at the health store in town (all the regular coffee houses were closed on Sunday). And then we enjoyed a day at the lake after the storms passed. 

The wait was definitely worth it as we saw Drake jump 100 feet and join the century club! He (once again) skied away on one ski after a crazy landing. I'm so glad that we have been here to witness all of his personal bests - peaking after a great deal of hard work and perseverance. We stayed for the awards where Drake was 4th in jump and Miami placed 2nd as a team. How great it has been to be here to cheer him on during his senior year.
