Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures

We had a great time in Monterey. Quentin was very well behaved until we got to 17 Mile Drive and he got soaked by a wave. After that he was pretty much a brat until we were done with the drive. Oh well...everyone has their moments. Friday we ate lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. You know how Q loves shrimp! Friday night we had dinner with Mary Rose at the Old Fisherman's Grotto. She is doing great living in Monterey and going to grad school. Speaking of school...her balcony looks right out at the Naval Graduate School. Whoa, what a view to wake up to every morning! :-)

Here are some pictures...

The first is not great quality, but it was the best I could do under the circumstances. I call it "Swimmin' with the Fishes". This guy's job is to feed the fish in the kelp forest. At one point you could barely see him because the fish were completely surrounding him trying to get the food.

Otters. They are such precocious critters! This picture is of the big otters that get the most attention. The little otters that are in another part of the aquarium were quite entertaining to Quentin. There were three of them fighting the entire time we were watching them. I took pictures of them, but they all turned out looking like giant hairballs. Yep, that's what three otters tangled up and swirling around in the water look like...a giant hairball.

Here's a picture of one of the penguins. Their area of the aquarium is quite a bit smaller than what I was expecting, but it was still pretty neat.

Here's my favorite little animal!

My favorite thing at the Monterey Bay Aquarium has to be the jellies. I love the jelly fish exhibits!

17 Mile Drive. If/when I win the lottery, I will buy a house on 17 Mile Drive. It will have a view of the ocean. I can't wait! I may already be a winner, I did buy a ticket this weekend! And I did scope out a few lots that were for sale while we were driving.
