Beautiful Monterey

I've always loved Monterey, and it's one of the places I'd really love to live. I went this weekend to visit my mom and her best friend Colleen who went to get away for the weekend there.

I got there Friday night, in time for us to go to Bubba Gumps. The next morning we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. What was really funny was that in line I saw one of my coworkers. Small world!
Here's a cool fish without much of a rear fin. He's a slow eater or something like that. We also explored a bit of Cannery Row and ate at Willy's BBQ. It was pretty tasty!

That night we went to see the beach at Pacific Grove. That place has such beautiful beaches.

The next day we went on the 17 mile drive (my first time). The beaches are so beautiful and it made me want to take up golfing. We got to see the Lone Cypress, which has been standing for 250 years being battered by wind and the ocean. It's cool to look at.

And we got to see Pebble Beach. It was a very fun weekend and I'm so glad that it's so close!
