Monterey Bay Aquarium

Months ago, I had planned to take Mom & Dad to the coast for the long President's Day weekend. Again, my plans were thwarted by rain. We adjusted our expectations and still enjoyed an amazing time at the world-class Monterey Bay Aquarium (where we are now members!).

These sea nettles were a favorite:

The Seahorses are another favorite, incredible exhibit. I was able to capture 2/3 fishy faces here:-) Our family:

Kat in the Kelp "holdfast":

Here are the kiddos at the entrance to the "Splash Zone" here they are in the same place last April.

A momentary brightness provides a great pictures op of the bay:

This big wave that crashes down regularly is a huge hit with my kids:

Dinner at El Torito (after a damp walk) was a welcome respite. Great food, great conversation, great location!!!!

And to end our day, one of the brightest rainbows I've every seen right stretched out over the bay.
