Monterey Bay Aquarium

In August Christopher and I took a trip out to California, mainly Santa Cruz and Monterey. We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium one of the days we were there. I haven't been back to the aquarium with Chris in a little over 2 years. It was really great to take him there again.

Checking out some fish

Some beautiful jellies.... they probably aren't as beautiful if they are stinging you

CHEESE!!

Getting comfortable watching all the different animals in the Outer Bay Exhibit

"Zuga" the sea turtle... she's a character from his Diego movies

The Hot Pink Flamingos... he thought these were very cool

Looking for Nemo

"I found Nemo, Mom"

there was a cool little cubby hole that the little kids could sit in and look at the turtles

The other side of the window that Chris was looking thru

Mr Cheeser again

Checking out the sea dragons, these are so neat looking!

petting a sea cucumber, Chris thought this was very cool. I had to finally take him away from it when he started squeezing it instead of just petting it

a baby penguin.... or so he said he was

this exhibit had water crashing down over the glass, it was fun watching Chris sit there watching the water rush over him

checking out the kelp forest
