Monterey Bay Aquarium

We took K to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for his first birthday.  To be honest, I was really excited to go.  I haven't been there in years and was hoping to be amazed.  Let me tell you, the day was fantastic.

Everything about the aquarium rocked.  It wasn't overly crowded, the people who work there were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and decently priced.  We ate in the cafeteria section, not the fine dining, but it didn't feel like cafeteria food.  They had a grill, kid menus, alcohol, and a lot of fresh salad and fruit.  Their souvenir shop wasn't overly pricy either. And lastly, the whole point of the aquarium...the fish!  They were beautiful, funny, and cute.

Everything came together nicely to celebrate K's big day.  Here are some of the photos from our day.

There was one penguin, Betty, who kept playing with K and he thought it was the best thing in the world.

I think my boys had a fun day.....
