Anna and Heather are here! Anna and Heather are here! Our Christmas gift to them this year was an experiential gift-- a 3 day mini-vacation in our now-favorite getaway spot, Monterey. And our gift was everything we were hoping it would be, highlights including the indoor swimming pool at our hotel, some great eats at fun restaurants, late night talks in the suite, plenty of beach time and, of course, a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Jellies! We predicted Anna would like these best. We were correct!
Seahorses! This exhibit is always amazing.
Touch pools! Delia gets up close to a mushy sea cucumber.
The wave room! The girls were pretty excited to share this exciting experience with Anna and Heather.
Sting ray petting! Usually the rays are hanging in the out-of-reach part of the pool. On this visit, one was brave and friendly enough for us to pet him!
Ocean views! Slipping outside to gulp in the salty sea air and watch for wildlife in the bay remains one of my favorite parts of the aquarium.
