Monterey Bay Aquarium

The day after the golf tournaments in Monterey, Chris and I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was cool getting to see all the different sea animals, both in the tanks and from the telescopes on the observation deck. We saw a bunch of sea otters in the bay rolling themselves up in seaweed to anchor themselves so they could sleep. We got to touch seastars and I touched a sea cucumber (very weird). We say itty bitty seahorses and seahorses that were atleast half a foot long. It was a great trip and I hope we will get to go back when I am able to be out and about more.

This was a 12 lb. lobster that was caught by a fisherman and donated to the aquarium about 3 months ago. He couldn't get himself to eat this big boy.

One of the seahorse tanks. It was hard to get a good picture of the seahorses since he actually swim quite fast.
Just a bunch of colorful fish. The one that is orange with one bright pink square is so strange. Don't even know what kind it it, but I like it.

Hey its Dorie from "Finding Nemo"!!!

Cool fish

This is a Cuddle Fish. They look so depressed and I sure wouldn't want to cuddle with one of these.

These are little eels that bury themselves in the sand.

A big black fish...I don't know what it was but it was willing to sit still for a picture.

I love the Jelly Fish tanks. They are so beautiful....I wouldn't want to swim with them but I like to look.

I love the colors of these Jelly Fish

Ahhhh!!! They're attacking Chris!!

These are very little Jelly Fish that light up and vibrate with color.

Same jellies as above picture.

I really like the markings of maroone on this one.
