Monterey Day

We took a family vacation day and headed to Monterey Bay Aquarium. We spent most of a day there, and so did a ton of people. I took the time to research the place a bit before going over, read about what days has light traffic, feeding times, etc. When we got there it looked like everyone else read the same thing I did (go figure) and it was crowded!

The aquarium has some wonderful volunteers that rotate all over the place. They are so good at helping people understand what they are look at. This lady showed Allie how to pick up the sea star. After that, Allie displayed her new talent several times. Hope that sea star got a rest after she left!

My parents spent teh day with us. On the way back to the car they took us to this great tiny beach along the street where we could get our feet wet for a bit.
Mollie got more than just her feet wet. We decided to call it a day when she fell in the water adn soaked her whole front. Couldn't pass up this grumpy picutre.
