Little Fish, Big Fish, I'm not a Fish... I'm a Mermaid











And so the conversation went between Violet and myself during our two day stay in beautiful Monterey... Daddy hooked it up at the Intercontinental a mere block (walking) to the Monterey Aquarium. Grammy & Grampy came in tow to help with us rugrats and to enjoy the ocean air with M&D. The highlights of our aquarium visit were the petting tanks (we got to actually touch stingrays-- minus their stingers, of course... starfish and kelp), the friendly penguins, finding Nemo (or a fish that looked a lot like him), the jellyfish, watching the giant tuna swim by us as if we were not even there, and of course, scouring the tanks for the great white (baby, but still HUGE) shark. Afterwards, we napped, hit the hotel pool, stopped by a ginormous candy store, ate a lovely dinner at Monterey's Fish House and paraded down the street to Ghiradelli's for some much needed ice cream. It was a fantastic trip. Thanks Daddy for footing the bill! xoxo Stella & Violet
