A day at the bay

ROAD TRIP!!!!

Since we needed to be out of our house on Sunday afternoon for an Open House, we decided to head to Monterey to use our Monterey Bay Aquarium Passes. We LOVE going there and having passes with little kids makes it so enjoyable. The girls and I were just there a few days ago because Emily had been asking to see the Otters. It was really fun to get to go as a family!!! 

Here we are driving to the bay

Emily was so excited to be headed to see the fishies at the "a-cari-uum"that she passed out on our way there. Maggie did too, but I couldn't (well, chose not to) lean over my seat to get a picture of her sleeping sweetness. 

We of course had to go to the Jelly Fish display.... because on the other side of this is the Sea Birds which the girls LOOOOOOVE!!!!! Here's a picture of Dada and Margaret looking at the Jellies. 

It was so nice out we sat outside on the upper level deck for a bit just enjoying the salty ocean air and looking for Otters. 

Family Photo... tryyyying to get better about making sure these happen

Margaret and Mama

bahaha! I like how she's rested her legs :) 

hugs!!!

While the otters were "at lunch" dada and Emily got to watch the other fish in the tank. 

We ended our day by walking to fishermans warf and trying the free clam chowder and eating dinner overlooking the ocean. Maggie was ooooover it but once she got some bread she was better. Eating out with littles is work. But, we've all gotta eat and although she would squack here and there, it really wasn't all that bad. 

I snapped this of the 2 of them walking behind maggie and I. They are such Rock Stars!!!!

love spending time with this guy!
