Another Trip...

I went up to visit Frank again and had a busy weekend. We drove up to Kara in San Jose and together we saw the new Alice In Wonderland 3D movie, and went out for sushi. Then on Sunday, it was Kara's turn to drive to Seaside so that we could visit Carmel and Monterey Bay. Here we are at the beach in Carmel...beautiful! It was a dog friendly beach, so we had fun watching different breeds of dogs frolicking on the sand and testing out the water!! I wonder how our doggy Maggi would do?
We visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium again...never get tired of the place! We saw the baby otter and learned that it is being taken care of by a "foster" female otter; and we watched the penguins being fed.
Although it was overcast, it was beautiful outside!!
On our way back to the van, we noticed we had parked near a beach where all the seals hang out! It was incredible! There were so many of them!!
Such a beautiful area...I'm sure there are more trips in my future...

It was a bit breezy, but I love the cold! Actually, I was leaning into Frank for the picture since I thought Kara was zooming in!

Looks like you had fun. Your daughter looks so much like you! I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium too. So much to see and learn. Was the seahorse exhibit still there?

Denise, I was surprised to still see the Sea Horse exhibit, but right nearby behind barriers, they were preparing for the flamingo exhibit...so going back! Oh, the baby otter was there too!
