If traveling down to the Peninsula you have to treat yourself to Sara's. Chocolate Peanut Butter milkshake w/crunch coat is one of Em's favorites but can never go wrong with the classic orange & vanilla twist.

Presque Isle is definitely a place to check out during your visit to EPA. You can go for a nice walk along the water, relax on the beach, or even go for a nice bike ride. As Brennan from Step Brothers would say, "So many activities!"

Beautiful 18 hole course. Em & her Dad have a side game called "over-under." Before teeing off, guess your over/under how many golf balls you will lose vs find. Typically, it's a good game of scavenger hunting (Ask Matt & Em, haven't had to buy new golf balls in ages).

J.C. Martin Golf Course

Fun 9 hole course. Growing up this was the place to be in the summer. Em would spend many hours playing with her sister, cousins, and friends. From playing in the Friday tournaments with several other middleschoolers to entering into a putting contest -- loser buys winner either the 10 cent gum ball, 60 cent cookie, or 75 cent pepperoni ball (But put it on "the tab") -- It was the life. Em took Matt here during one of his very first visits to Erie! Matt did take the win (that time) so Em bought him his very first JC Martin Pepperoni Ball -- Big Fan.
