The bay in Monterey is such a pretty shade of blue!
It was a bright, crisp, clear, day. We slept in a bit -- past 8:00 AM -- drank coffee and hit the road.
It was slow going. We stopped for breakfast, and then took a detour in Gilroy. Boy, does that town smell like garlic.
The aquarium is very, very, cool. I don't LOVE aquariums in general, but the Monterey Bay Aquarium is just plain impressive. The penguins, sharks, and the huge, 700 lb, sun fish were highlights.
Plus, there were totally crazy, semi-transparent, flashing rainbow light tentacled, mini jelly fish. Seriously.
We walked & walked, and I was feeling pretty darn tired by the end of the day.
Tomorrow we're taking a picnic to Point Lobos State Reserve. Neither of us have been there before, and that makes it extra special.
Eric (because he's Eric) brought stuff to make me hot chocolate tonight. He sure is a good egg.
I like vacations! Even short ones are swell.
