Some scenes from our trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We all had a pretty good time, largely because I decided that it was Just Fine that S & I spend a lot of time in this kids' area, instead of actually looking at actual sea life. We did see quite a bit of the "real" parts of the aquarium, like the jellies and the "funny fish" (sunfish) and we did catch the sea otter feeding, which was fun. Note for next time: set clear rules for the gift store before going in.

And one pic from the drive home, at the Black Bear Diner in Mt Shasta. They're mugging for the camera here, the food at Black Bear is suitable but nothing to dance and sing about.
