Things to Do: TopGolf in Alexandria, VA

The best day of last week had to have been Sunday Funday,  the BF and I took his best friend to TopGolf in Alexandria VA, it's a beer/wine bar with a driving range and mini golf. BE WARNED We waited for 2 hours to get a bay *Call ahead or come early* What's pretty cool is that TopGolf has the technology to register the golf balls to a card so when you hit the ball into a target, it registers in the computer! (IDK this might be all ranges but whateve's) So you play the game for points, or switch it up and play for distance! We played for points, and while we were getting "loose" and watching the experts around us, ordered a bucket of Coronas.

It was a gorgeous day but even if it hadn't been, they have HEATED bays and stay open all year round!  It was so packed because it was such a nice day, I can only hope that the wait is much less as the newness of spring wears off. Anyways, we were struggling but by the time we got to our second game, I was clearly the winner by points, but the boys just wanted to smack the ball and show off their distance! -_-

I had a great time, but woke up yesterday SO sore in my obliques, legs and shoulders! Swinging that club doesn't seem like much but trust me, its a repetitive motion that works muscles you don't normally get! We each played 40 balls, considering how many times we swung and missed, we must have did 60 reps!

This is a great family activity, they have rental men's, women and children's clubs plus the mini golf if the kids get bored, all you do is show up and play!
