Pelly's Mini Golf

Thomas had the day off from school (Meredith didn't) so a friend and I made plans for a fun morning with Thomas and her son, Michael.  We went to Pipes Cafe for breakfast and then to a miniature golf place in Del Mar.  This golf place is adjacent to the 5 but you can't really see the mini golf courses when you are cruising by.  Neither of us had been before but it looked like a fun place to check out (from their website) -- and much to our delight, it was.  There are two 18-hole mini golf courses, one with a surfing theme and one with an ocean theme.  The boys chose the ocean theme so we played alongside whales, an octopus, seals, dolphins, sharks, etc.  There was a shark cage at one hole and all the holes had fun names like "Friend or Anemone".  Since we were there at 10:30am on a Friday, there weren't many people playing.  Plenty of people kept the driving range super busy, but the mini golf was totally open for us so the boys enjoyed goofing off while we played.  In all, it was a fun morning for everyone.  I always love spending time with just Thomas and doing activities geared more for his age group.  Meredith would have been bored by hole 3.
