Monterey

Over Christmas break Tone and I drove up to Monterey to see the aquarium. Tone is designing an aquarium for San Diego for his thesis project so we thought it would be fun to drive up and spend a few days in Monterey.
We stopped in San Luis Obispo and Tone found his dream car. If architecture doesn't work out he could always deliver pizza.

The coast up north was SO much different than the coast by us. It didn't even feel like the same state.


We stopped to see the Elephant Seals. They smelled bad. They just layed on the beach and rubbed their fins together the same way daddy-o rubs his feet together.

No sand at the beach, just rocks.

And trees.

Tone liked this. It was the Bixby Canyon Bridge. He made us listen to the song as we drove over it.





We met our good friends Garrett and Becky and their daughter Adeline.

She loved the penguins.


I loved the sea horses.


She doesn't like strangers so this was kind of a big deal.


We loved it. We decided we need to explore more of our state.
