Monterey Part IIb - The Aquarium

So at the Aquarium, some of the creatures we saw were pretty awesome. They had just opened the Seahorse exhibit so that was our first stop. Lucky for us we did that, because later we couldn't see anything in that area, it was sooo crowded. I don't think Carl and I would do the Aquarium in the summer again.
Too many tourists, locals and camp kids! Whew! The crowds were almost as bad as Disneyland! But we managed to see most of what we wanted. The kids had to learn to be a little pushier than they are used to. They figured out if they said "excuse me" and pushed a little, the adults would usually let them to to the front of the exhibit. Of course the other kids there had no qualms about pushing hard, and Cole lost his spot because some kid pushed him out of the front. Cole's response? "But he said excuse me." Nuff said. So we saw Jellyfish, a weird crabby thingy, and the neat sea horses called Leafy Seahorses. They also had Weedy Seahorses, but these were more exciting looking. I of course, not reading or anything, was not aware that you could not take flash photos of these creatures, and thus the photo you see. Others did it after reading the no flash sign. I was just oblivious. After that though, I did check each display for a no flash sign. I really like the kids in the clam! They were happy to smile for me as they were really having a good time!
