Monterey Bay Thursday 7-28-11

We stayed at Monterey Bay Inn on Cannery Row and had a balcony on the ocean. The guy that checked us in was absolutely amazed that we drove all the way from Oklahoma. The longest hr had ever driven was an 8 hour trip...and it took him 12. What a light weight!!! I woke up this morning to sounds of sea lions playing in the ocean.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium was the main event for the day. Tayte loves aquariums but the rest of us not so much. I must say we were all pleasantly surprised! It is the best one we have ever been to.






After the aquarium we walked around Cannery Row and then down to Fisherman's Wharf. Then what Tayte and I had been waiting for-the beach!! Problem-it was freezing!!!! The temp Wes in the mid 60's so the water was really cold. There were kids on the beach in winter coats. Now that just ain't right!







Tayte tried to chase down a bird because he wanted to eat her shoe.



At the room later I watched a dog swimming around playing with a couple of otters. So cute!!
