Sunday in Monterey

So. This is our second trip to the aquarium. You might remember our first trip, which was ok, but didn't send us into throes of ecstasy or anything. But this time was much better. We're still a leetle bit afraid of the tidal surge thing, but the jellyfish were much more interesting...


And we were big enough to get in the tide pools with some help from Dad...

I think we might be kind of into it :)

And I'm sorry I didn't get more pictures at the aquarium, but it's because he loved it so much he never stood still. So here's one more shot of the beach.

Saturday in Monterey!

We went down to Monterey on Saturday. We had plans to go to the aquarium on Sunday morning, so Saturday afternoon we went to the beach! Playing in the sand was great. We dipped our toes in the ocean but it was so cold we ran right back out (and kept a close eye on it, in case it came after us). We chased seagulls and found seashells and it was generally just awesome!

The seagulls did not think this was awesome

Walking back along the trail, we passed a protected area full of Harbor seal mothers and pups. Austin may or may not have noticed, but Mommy and Daddy did.

When we got back to the hotel, it was a zoo because prom was there. The restaurants were pretty packed too. So we went to a brewery just off Cannery Row, where Austin crashed a bachelorette party! Congratulations to the lovely bride who gave him her blinky bride to be pin :)

Ladies love us

First Trip to the Aquarium!

I think we mostly had fun. It was a little dark, and fish are kind of unfriendly looking.



And we did not appreciate the penguins, even though they were very interested in us.



And maybe we dreamed fishy dreams on the drive back, with our new otter friend.
