One Fish, Two Fish. . .Patton loves ALL Fish!

At the beginning of this month we headed to San Jose for Sam's Grandma's funeral. We were excited to see some of Sam's family and for them to finally meet Patton. We had a good time, but it was a quick trip! Since the drive is so long, we decided to break it up into 2 driving days on the way home, and stop in Monterey.

And of course we had to head to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. . .which was absolutely AMAZING, I might add!

Patton was SOOO excited about the aquarium that he was literally running in his Baby Bjorn all the way to the entrance of the aquarium. He was so mesmorized by all the fish, and he absolutely had to have an entire conversation with every fish that he saw! It was pretty entertaining to watch him!
Ok, so I have this absolute fear of sharks, but I'm completely fascinated by them, especially great white sharks. When I found out that the aquarium actually had a great white shark in their aquarium, I KNEW I had to see it. It was only a juvenile, but it was still amazing to watch!

Isn't this the most awesome picture of the sea turtle? I'm pretty proud of it! :)

One of the best things about this aquarium (other than the great white shark) is that it is so kid friendly. They have all these touch tanks for the kiddos to get their hands into. Patton is grabbing some sea weed in this pic, which he of course immediately put into his mouth. My curious little one!

This is seriously how he was the whole time we were at the aquarium. Fingers in the mouth and completely glued to whatever we were looking at!

My two boys are having a blast!

It started misting on the way home, which made the shore look incredible with the waves crashing against the rocks! We decided to stop at the best bed and breakfast about 2 hours south of Monterey. I'm sad that we didn't get any pictures of our B&B, but the food and location were wonderful! The next day we headed home from our quick trip! Sam had so much fun on our little vacation that now he wants to travel up the coast of CA this summer. That would be awesome!
