Monterey Bay Aquarium

Reese and I (Daddy had to work) met the Morrison family down in Monterey to explore the aquarium. It was a long drive there and back - but well worth it!

Reese & Trey enjoying the "tide" pool.

Reese loving the water area . . . the smock didn't help a bit but she sure looked cute in it.

Reese laying down with Trey . . . and wiggling of course.

Reese walking thru this cave - it was very small so I stayed on one end and let her walk in. She amazingly came back out to me!

Reese enjoying the time with big cousin Soph.
(And yes, that is the walking harness . . . only used it the last hour when she just didn't want the stroller anymore!)

I was a bit scared going to such a big and busy place with Reese alone. But Uncle Woody was a big help pushing the empty stroller so Reese and I could walk. It was great fun and she enjoyed the childrens area . . . I wasn't brave enough to let her touch the sea creatures. I thought she would be rough or just try to dive in!

It was great fun . . . and even hitting a bit traffic on the way back was no big deal. I had a tea latte from Starbucks and Reese passed out the entire way back - all 2 hours.

Thanks Auntie Corinn, Uncle Woody, Soph & Trey for such a fun day!
