Monterey

Last week, Tony and I unexpectedly found ourselves off work together! We decided to take advantage of it after a long period of having NO days off together, and treat the boys to a nice little trip. We headed down to the Bay Area to stay with my parents and made a trip to Monterey the next day! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Benson for treating us to the museum!

Lucas, still not walking, liked to sit and point to the huge hanging whale skeletons and sea otters and talk to us about them.

While outside, having a snack, we saw some "big kids" getting scuba lessons. How cool! Maybe one day James and Lucas can too! James had a lot of fun watching.
A picture of a type of seahorse in the new exhibit, called a "sea dragon." Beautiful. I can't believe this is a real animal!

Daddy and James strike a pose with Daddy sea horse giving birth. :)

James really enjoyed all the touch pools and hands-on stuff to do!
After the museum it was off to Cannery Row for some Ghiradelli (sp?) ice cream!

we went to the aquarium on our way home from LA last time and when I asked Spencer his favorite part he said the kids scuba diving. He loved watching that!
