I’ve run out of data on my phone

I went to a barbecue with my friends yesterday, and we had a relaxed and pleasant day. Due to my off days are during the week, it’s hard to get together and do some interesting activities with some of my friends, so we can only choose gathering during holidays.
We had the barbecue in an agritainment which is about 30 miles away from downtown. It’s a little far but all of us were happy with it/ thought it was okay. My friends and I prefer relatively quiet places rather than lively and populous ones, therefore avoid the places where have a lot of kids is necessary, because most children are easy getting excited and noisy when they go out . According to the pictures which were showed online, we found out that they didn’t offer any playground nor entertainment equipment for kids,so we assumed/guessed there shouldn’t be many kids there. Furthermore, this agritainment is located on a exact opposite direction from the popular areas, made it looks perfect to us and later we found it really was.
