We had the chance at the first of June, to go with Danny to Monterey. He had some work things that he had to do all week, and since his work was already paying for a hotel, we tagged along. So while Danny worked, we played! We went to the beach and built a sand castle, we had our imaginations tested at My Museum, we got some sun at the Dennis the Menace park and we had some much needed down time from school just hanging out at the hotel. When Danny finished his work early, we took a trip down the coast on 17 mile drive. It was beautiful scenery and the kids had fun gathering seashells at Bird Rock. I had fun taking pictures of everything and to top off the night, we got Cold Stone Icecream! Yeah, it was cool! Our final day, we all went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium...which was AMAZING! It was the biggest and best aquarium I have ever been to. The sea life they had was incredible, from seahorses no bigger than your thumbnail to a giant octopus, to several different kinds of jellyfish! I will say it again...Incredible!!! To top it all off, we took the kids and went on a Whale Watching adventure! We saw Humpback's, white-sided dolphins and the largest mammal on the planet...Blue whales! It really made you feel tiny when these enormous creatures are swimming right towards your boat, and then under it! Wow! It was a fantastic trip and a great way to kick off our Summer!
