Last Saturday, I went to the the Monterey Bay Aquarium and beach with my boyfriend. We left at about 11:30 am. First we stopped by his house to drop off something and then got gas. Then we were on the way to Monterey. The drive was about 2 hours. There was heavy traffic which is why the drive was 2 hours when it's usually an hour and a half. Once we got there, it took us about 15 minutes to find parking. There was very limited parking in Monterey which was to be expected. We ended up parking 2 blocks away from the aqarium which actually isn't that bad compared to where others had to park. Once we walked all the way to the aquarium, we got in line to buy our tickets. Tickets were $35 with a student discount. After we bought our tickets we were finally in. We looked at every single animal exhibit they displayed and even got to touch stingrays. However, I was too afraid to touch a stingray so I just watched my boyfriend touch them. My favorite part was getting to see the sea otters. I love sea otters because they're adorable and fast swimmers. After we finished at the aqarium we walked to a nearby restauraunt called Johnny Rockets. We were seated in less than 5 minutes. We had the best server. He was very friendly and funny. He even did a Mickey Mouse impression. After we ate and paid the bill, we walked back to the car to go the beach. Once we finally found a parking spot at the beach we took out our stuff and started walking towards the beach. By this time it was around 5 o'clock and was starting to get really cold. However it was still really sunny which made for great pictures. Overall it was a great day.
