The Monterey Bay Aquarium
Last Wednesday, we decided to stop by Monterey for plenty of fun, sun, and fish! Our first stop was on Cannery Row for some lunch, souvenirs, and sightseeing.
Lunch was nothing too memorable, however dessert was; we picked up FOUR chocolate covered caramel apples at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Now if you've never had a bite of a Rocky Mountain chocolate covered caramel apple, you are missing out! They have different flavors to choose from and all of them are divine! Our four apples were Rocky Road, Oreo Cookie, Mudpie, and Avalanche. Talk about YUM! We also picked up three chunks of fudge (which ended up in the freezer when we got home...can't eat everything at once, ya know!).
After sufficiently stuffing ourselves, we all went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium! It was a lot different for James to visit the aquarium this time in comparison to his first time. Not only was he able to comprehend what was in front of him, but he also got to interact with more of the exhibits! His favorite was the Coral Babies "Making Waves" exhibit. We lucky enough to have 10 minutes to ourselves so James could finally run across it! Of course, we also took some time to try on the costumes again. James decided to go as an angelfish this time.
Both James and Grace seemed to enjoy the Outer Bay exhibit - it was my personal favorite exhibit this time as they both decided to take a nap while we walked through it! Actually - Grace was asleep the entire time we were at the aquarium! We're definitely going to have to bring her back so she can enjoy all the sights, sounds, and animals there!
I just had to include this video somewhere. Hearing this woman cracks me up for some reason! Maybe it's because she thought the otters were weasels, or because she was seriously so amazed by them. Actually, it's probably because of her voice - something about it makes me laugh!
