Jesse's Visit

On Friday my half brother Jesse and his wife Lara came over to visit from Exeter (near Visalia in California). We had dinner at the local Lebanese restaurant Tabouli and went to Marty's. Yesterday, he picked me up around noon and we ate lunch at the 17^th Street Grille in PG. After that, we went off to try out disc golfing.

Jesse had been telling me for a while that disc golf was a lot of fun, and I finally got to try it. We went to the Don Dahvee Park course near the Del Monte Shopping Center. It was an 18-hole course that wound up the side of Munras Avenue in Monterey. The game plays just like golf, but you use special Innova frisbees that come in different types, i.e. putter, mid-range, driver, etc. The object is to get the disc into a metal basket (the hole) in as few throws as possible.

Most of them were pretty straight-forward, par 3, with usually a small hill and a couple trees in the way. The hardest hole was under a highway overpass where the tee-box was on one side and the basket was on the other. In the middle was a large gorge with a small river running through. We decided to skip this one. Hole 12 was right next to Whole Foods, so we stopped and had Indian Chai Tea Lattes. Mmm...

Since my dad is out of town, Jesse and Lara were staying at the house, so I stayed the night last night and we watched Wild Hogs.
