In San Francisco, we did a lot of things every day. While we are in Monterey, it is way more laid back. Two days ago, my mom and sisters went to the aquarium. I didn’t go because I thought that I had a sprained ankle. It was just growing pains. My dad, who was working, stayed at the hotel with me. We ordered lunch to our room; I got Caesar salad with shrimp. It was good. After they did the aquarium, we got ready to go play the Hay, the par 3 course at Pebble Beach. I shot 32, and hit my nine iron, which I usually hit about 110-115 yards, 125. It was a lot of fun. We ate dinner at that resort, I got a giant lamb roast. It was amazing! Our waiter said that if I finished it, he would buy me dessert. I could’ve done it, but my dad said that we couldn’t get dessert either way. That night I didn’t fall asleep until 11 o’clock because there were noises (snoring). Also, I think that it might have been something in the lamb, I started feeling sick. I fell asleep and woke up at 7. I was fine when I woke up. When we were discussing plans for the day, my dad told me that we were going to play Spanish Bay Golf Course! We got a nice breakfast, and I got French toast. Alisa didn’t order but helped herself to everyone else’s breakfast. After breakfast, we went on a walk on the beach and the kelp smelled awful. My dad and I went to the golf pro shop and got golf shoes and I got a hat. We went back to our room and changed into golf clothes. When we got to the first tee, there weren’t any junior clubs, so I just used adult clubs. They were TaylorMade Stealth! Some of the nicest clubs on the planet! We played the first whole, I got to the green in regulation, but 3 putted. On the tenth hole, a par 5, I got to the green in two shots, a bomb drive into the correct spot, and a lucky fairway club that bounced to the green. I almost made an eagle, but it rimmed out. I got a birdie. Also, I had two different chips, one out of the sand, one the rough that rimmed out. I finished with a 96, a great score on one of the best courses that I have ever played. It was so fun! After golf, we drove to Carmel, but turned around because my calves were so sore from walking that I couldn’t walk around shopping. We got dinner, and I got an amazing NY strip steak. We got 3 desserts and split them. We went to the room and fell asleep and that was the end of day 3.
