Mini golf in Bethpage, walking the Jones Beach boardwalk August 6, 2021

My friend Kelly visited from Connecticut last weekend. Among our Saturday exploits were a round of mini golf at Bethpage Mini Golf, located within Batter Up, and a walk along the Jones Beach boardwalk.

First, the mini golf photos:

Kelly kept score:
Upon scanning the card when we got home, I noticed that there was a five-stroke limit, rendering the score incorrect.

Here is the corrected scorecard:

After about an hour at home, Kelly and I headed down to Jones Beach to walk the boardwalk.

We drove south on the Wantagh Parkway:

I periodically photographed planes that had taken off from Republic Airport… or were approaching John F. Kennedy International Airport. This one just left Republic:
We briefly drove west on Ocean Parkway before turning into Field 4:

We parked in the H section:
This is one of many planes approaching JFK:

Thanks to FlightStats, I was able to identify each plane. Above was JetBlue Flight 4 from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (San Juan).

From here, Kelly and I traveled west on Merrick Road for dinner at La Piazza in Merrick.

It was a fun afternoon, and weekend, for both of us.
