As a last quick mini-vacation before school started, we went on a weekend trip to Monterey and visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The kids had a great time checking out all the sea creatures and Natalie even got to touch a sting ray. Their favorite part of the trip: staying in a hotel.

We saw Nemo and Dory

Watched a penguin feeding

Kaiya, this one’s for you!

Scuba guy feeding the larger fish & sharks

All that walking made Tyler really hungry!

There was a big candy store outside that all of us were really excited to be in!
