Monterey Bay Aquarium

We took Ella to the Monterey Bay Aquarium today for her first birthday. We had a great time!
Outside the Aquarium with Mama

Looking at lots of fish with Daddy


We visited the otters twice, during their feeding and later when there weren't as many people around.


Watching a wave wash or this window

She loved the waves!





Looking at Jelly Fish with another little girl

On the balcony with Daddy

Spinning a cool globe

Touching the bubbles on this special glass tank

She loved the bright colored fish in this tank.



We spent a lot of time in the baby & toddler playground. Ella loved this water fountain and floating toy fish!


Enjoying the penguins

Ella loved the penguins and they seemed to like her too.


Touching seaweed (she also got to touch a Star Fish)

On the way home (note the purple and red ball from the toy Gramma & Grandpa got her clutched in her hand)

Watching Finding Nemo on the way home... I picked it at random and then realized when I loaded it on the way home how appropriate it was. :-)

Playing with a couple of souvenirs Mama picked up for me, an otter board book and a little stuffed otter (he's really soft!).

She loves them both! She's already opened her otter book and pointed to animals in it.
