I hadn’t been to Monterey or the Monterey Bay Aquarium in…well, suffice it to say, it was a long time, so the trip I took with El Hub last weekend was a huge treat. We saw it as what will most likely be our last vacation-y hurrah before infant woman shows up in March, so we made the drive south on Friday.

The drive took about three hours. Last time we went, we didn’t have Yelp to assist us discover locations to eat, as well as we didn’t have GPS on our phones, which truly assists when it comes to discovering restaurants (and your hotel), so this time around I believe we found a whole lot of neat places, nooks as well as crannies that we didn’t even understand existed! There’s so much more to see as well as perform in as well as around Monterey as well as close-by Carmel (including a seemingly endless number of adorable shops) than I thought. If you online in California, or if you’ll be visiting, I truly hope you inspect it out. It was one of the funnest, most fascinating as well as tasty trips I’ve taken in years.

Maten? The seafood!? holy MACKEREL! (Haha, poor pun intended.) Talk about great eats, as well as it generally seemed to be more economical than the fresh seafood I discover up right here near San Francisco.

And then there’s the incredible aquarium! In one more life, I believe I was a marine biologist/veterinarian. Those dang sea otters are a few of the cutest critters in the world, the method they play with each other as well as roll around? I CAN’T even TAKE exactly how adorable THEY ARE! I mean, they have serious four-legged modeling potential. Tabs should be advised.

Here are some pics from the trip, which was just a couple days from Friday to Sunday. On our last day, we likewise stopped by Carmel (Clint Eastwood utilized to be the mayor), which is one more little town right next to Monterey.
