Aquarium

Today we spent our first day of Thanksgiving vacation taking a trip to the Monterey Aquarium. We left early and got there as it was opening and we are so glad we did this as all the feedings are in the morning. We say the otters being feed and then briefly saw the diver in the Kelp Pool. Following this was the main attraction for the day -a penguin walking the red carpet! It was so funny and we had front row seats. The penguin stopped right in front of us and at one point looked like he was going to inspect our camera. Eoin really wasn't sure what to make of it all!

As far as Eoin was concerned the best bit of the Aquarium was going outside and chasing the seagulls. He also loved the outdoor nature part where he got to watch more birds.

Now that we are back home we are going to spend the next couple of days preparing for our trip back home to England. It is Eoin's great grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary and so family for all over the world are traveling back to celebrate with them. 60 years really is something!

So if the blog goes quite for a couple of weeks you'll know that we are enjoying seeing friends and family that we haven't seen in a long time - can't wait to see you all!
