Travels with daughter: Monterey Bay Aquarium in December

Continuing the December travelogue with daughter, we drove from Santa Cruz down to Monterey Bay, to a lovely hotel right on the water. The first morning we woke up there, we got coffee and bagels and then walked a block to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

It was amazing. I could go on and on about every feature, all the marine life we saw, but I’ll add a few photos below so you can get a glimpse. I took photos, video, and soaked in a full day’s worth of pure delight. If you are close by, go. It’s a terrific way to spend a day.

I’ll write about my favorite encounter in the next travelogue post.
