This past week, the Monterey Bay Aquarium offered free admission to locals, so we took advantage and headed over. We also met up with Cameron’s buddy Jada and her family.
It was extremely crowded, but as you can see by this big beaming smile, we still had fun. The trick to having an enjoyable visit on a horribly crowded day is to not have any expectation at all of seeing everything! Luckily, Jada’s family seemed pretty mellow and content to also take in whatever was reasonable and manageable.
We’ve got ourselves a third no-napnick! This one remained pretty darn jolly for not napping at all! And, she ate a pile of pasta while we were there which maybe just kept re-energizing her. I don’t know.
We focused our time on watching the penguin feeding, seeing the injured albatross, hanging out in Splash Zone (mostly for the littlest ones’ benefit) and seeing the otters!
Doesn’t sound like much for a 3-hour span of time! It was definitely nice to be able to spend time with Jada’s family as Cameron so often wants to have play dates with Jada.
