Escaping the Heat at the Monterey Bay Aquarium

I drove down to Monterey yesterday with the girls to escape the heat for a day. It was a beautiful day down there, not a cloud in the sky, but no more than 70 F.

 Eating lunch at our favorite bakery

 Ella loves their pizza!

 The Open Sea exhibit has been reopened. It's pretty dark in there, so the pictures don't show much, but here's Ella sitting in front of the huge tank.

 The dark made it difficult for my camera to focus, but this captures Emma's reaction to the huge fish in the tank. The girls especially loved the huge Sun Fish, Sea Turtles, and Tuna.

 Ella's really into drawing right now.

Emma loves shape sorting in the Splash Zone (Coral Babies)!
