Memorial Day

On Monday Jared and I hopped in the car and headed down to Monterey. It used to be our state capital back in the day.


First we headed to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I haven't been since I was about 12 or so. Jared had never been before. We learned that sharks are good and we need them in our ecosystem to keep it properly balanced. They really aren't as dangerous as everyone things.


Here's Jared surrounded by anchovies swimming around and around and around.


I love how this starfish is just chillin. It's totally laid back.

The Aquarium is located right on the bay.


I love the blues and grays of the sea.

I love these Lone Cypress trees. They are so beautiful.


When my Grandparents used to live in Carmel when I was younger we used to go down there all the time. This is a spot where part of Alfred Hitchcock's film Vertigo was filmed. Every time we drove through this area we'd yell out, "Vertigo!" and then we knew we had about 30 more mins until Grandma and Grandpa's house.
