Monterey

It has been about almost a month since we have been to Monterey, but I guess better late than never. On Thursday the 1st we went to Montery to visit with Mom and Dad for our birthdays. We had a lot of fun with them. Dad unfortunately didn't get to spend as much time with us because he had a CRNA conference, but we still enjoyed what time we did have with him. Mom Tony and I walked along the beach for a long time and saw a bunch of casualties on the beach. Tony thought it would be fun to take pictures of some of them, but for your stomach's sake I will not include them. We went around the area to look at the sites. Mom and I went up to the spa one afternoon and got in the hot tub and sunbathed and ate fruit and had lemon water. While walking along one of the piers, Tony teased the sea lions a little and one of them got really angry with him and barked at him pretty loud. As you can see from the picture above he apparently thought he was being funny as well. It about made him soil himself and of course mom and I both laughed. When Dad joined in we would go back to the places that he wanted to see, Watched Bee movie, went out to eat (if you ever go to monterey don't go to Scooners and order a caesar salad because they sneakingly put a sardine on it thinking it is a delicacy, but they are mistakenly wrong... Barf!), did a bit of shopping, and went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium (The Jellies were my favorite as well as the sting rays. Can you guess what kind of fish that enormous blob is? Everyone except mom dad and Tony of course bc they already know. ). We ended our trip in San Francisco on Sunday. We went to the Fisherman's Wharf and had dinner there, did a little sinful shopping ( O_o gasp! I know!), Went across the Bridge and then delightfully enjoyed some delectable cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. mmmmm cheesecake... They had to leave early the next morning so we let them get to bed a bit early. I missed them already on the way back, but appreated the time spent. For some reason the whole time we were there I didn't seem to be able to get a single picture with all of us. I guess Dad thought that our cameras were way to valuable to be put in the hands of a complete stranger, but I didn't even get one with me and them while tony took the picture... oh well...
