g5 and then activate your rook. Don't worry about his a pawn. It's actually helping you by blocking you only (after g5) weak pawn. His last move Rg4 was fairly bad and allows you to march easier. His rook is funning out of good squares. Why draw when you're up two pawns (really closer to three).

Game 2952655
Was this game a draw, or did I have any other options?
This is why studying endgames is very important
What is the point of being up two pawns and having passed pawns if you don't know how to use them?
Take the time to learn everything from Q+K v K to rook and pawn endgames.
Not only will you win games like the one you posted, but you can steer your games into endgames that you know you can win.
don't feel bad about this game because you learned something. Any game that teaches you something is a win!
