The Fischies visit the fishies.

Yesterday we traveled south to Monterey and the wonderful aquarium on the bay that we've been hearing so much about since we moved here. It was an easier drive than we anticipated and we were able to head out from San Jose after B's gymnastics class, so its like we had a head start! Parking in Monterey was a bit ridiculous, especially since everyone else seemed to have the same idea as us on this rainy holiday weekend. Fortunately we've never minded walking and we were able to find a spot (on a very steep hill) for free! Yoohoo! The aquarium was beautiful and packed with people, but we are now full-fledged members so we'll be able to go back as many times as we want; and we'll even get to use a special, top secret members only entrance (maybe not top secret, but still very cool). There was a very fun toddler play area that B loved and lots of cool hands on exhibits. Afterwards we walked down Cannery Row a bit and ate some yummy BBQ before heading home. We are really looking forward to going back many more times!
