Monterey Bay Aquarium

The best thing to do in Monterey when it is raining is go to the aquarium. Last time

it was really crowded and I was a lot littler so I was a little more reserved. This time I wasn't so timid and I ran around squealing "fishies" with delight. Everything there was a "fishie" to me, even if it really wasn't.

There were lots of birdies there too, which, as you know, I also love.

This time I stood under the wave glass with Daddy and I didn't cry.

I did try to hide in his neck though.

They have this new area called the "Splash Zone." It has lots of stuff for little kids to do. I really loved this fish tank with lots of colorful fish.

They have all of these interactive learning displays too. Here I am with Daddy learning how the penguins talk to each other.

And, we got to see them feeding the penguins. So neat! We tried and tried to pose in this clam shell, but I was just too distracted by all of the other fun stuff to do.

Can you believe that there is even a little playground and slide in the aquarium now?!?!?

Our last stop was the otters. They have sea otters and river otters there too. The river otters are fun to watch because they chase each other all over their home.
