17 Mile Drive

After the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, we did the "17 Mile drive" along the Monterrey peninsula through Pebble Beach. It was a beautiful drive. Sorry, we're not golfers, so we drove right on past the 18th green of the Pebble Beach golf course. 



This was "Bird Rock." It had lots of birds up top and lots of seals around the edges and they were playing together in the water. 




Ashley went in for a close up.


This is the famous Lone Cypress Tree at Pebble Beach.



We definitely recommend going on the 17 Mile Drive.

Monterrey Bay Aquarium

Here we are, kidless, at the Monterrey Bay aquarium. Instead of trapping you in our living room to subject you to the hundreds of aquarium sea life pictures that Ashley took over our 2 days at the aquarium, we're using the web to get you wherever you may be. Haha. Sorry, no leaving the page...until you finish our slide show.


Talk about taking your work with you on vacation. This is an old retort from Cannery row. It's what food processor's use to cook your canned foods. The next time you open a can of sardines...remember, I might have inspected what you're eating...are you sure you'll still want to eat it?
The little brown clump far off in the water was a bunch of sea otters having a good time.








Had enough yet? We're a quarter through our slides...



Ashley really liked the seahorses...I was starting to feel a little bit jealous...

Now here's an exhibit we could really bring home.

Tasty looking
We had some beautiful sunny, windy weather.


That's it, our slide show is all done. Congratulations, you made it through it. We had a great time just the two of us. After the aquarium we went and picked out some famous salt water taffy, ate some shrimp at Bubba Gumps and then shared a Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae from Ghirardelli Chocolates. Good times.
