Fist we, I mean Danny!, drove ALL night. We arrived at 5-5:30 A.M. Then got up with Taelin at 8:00! It was a great drive! It took Danny about three days to recoup from the drive! Each day he slept in a little longer! Taelin was up at about 7-7:30 a.m. each day ready for breakfast! Then she followed her routine and took a morning and afternoon nap! It was wonderful... These breaks gave me just enough time to finish reading the HOST! Such a great book! Anyway... While in Cayucos we walked the beach, built sand castles, played in the water a little! It was cool! Walked the town, Ate at Duckies! My sister Emily said it was really good food and it was! We went shopping in Morro Bay, Drove to see the Elephant Seals. They look like seals but have a huge nose like an Elephant but smaller of course! This time of year they are shedding their skin and getting new ones. In the slideshow, you will see the shiny new skin and the old brown skin on some of them. We made the trek up to the Monterey Bay Aquarium! It was amazing! On the way up we decided to drive Hwy. One! It was a beautiful drive! There was a lot to look at, but I kept my nose in my book! hehehe I finished it though! I think that all of us at some point, from on the curvy road, got a little sick to our stomachs! I needed a little breather. The combo of being pregnant, reading, the turns and an empty stomach did not sit well with me! It was a wonderful drive and I enjoyed the opportunity! We stopped at Subway to eat before we went to the Aquarium! It was just what I needed!
The Aquarium was AMAZING!!! There was so much to see! We first saw the Deep Sea Otters! They look so cute and playful! The windows were double pained and there was about six inches between each pane. The only thing was that you could only see the one against the water because of the water splashing on it. So not once but twice did I try to get a closer look and hit my head on the window! It was quite funny! We also got to see the Penguins and the Kelp animals being fed! There was a huge Jelly fish exhibit going on! I didn't realize that there were so many kinds of Jelly fish! They are fun to look at!
The Aquarium had a wonderful variety of things to do and see including their hands on exhibit! We got to touch starfish and a sting ray, etc... It was lots of fun! We had a great time! One thing that we noticed while we were there was the large number of European Tourists! There were a lot! French here and German over there etc... It was great to see all of them! With the exchange rate to their advantage, it is a great time for them to come to America and tour!
Dad and Mom Elaine were so kind to have us in their home! Thank you for your great hospitality and the wonderful company! We had a fabulous time and miss you already! We can't wait for our next adventure to see you!
Thanks for reading and enjoy the slide show!
