Monterey
















I know that you can not see this picture well, but that is Alton Brown, he was having a book signing.


























Ben's mom and aunt came into town this weekend, and we had the opportunity to go down to Monterey and Carmel to see the aquarium, which is the #1 aquarium in the world!! It was so amazing, it totally beats the Echo Aquarium in Vermont!! My favorite part were the Jellie fish, they were so colorful, and I love the way that they move. After this we went on the 17 mile drive and saw the Pebble beach golf course, beautiful beaches, and some of the largest homes I have ever seen!! It was such a beautiful drive, a little foggy, but that was okay. Then we ended our trip at a beach in Carmel and watched the sunset!! It was such a beautiful and warm day!! Thank you Mom Ellsworth and Aunt Kayla for visiting us, we had such a blast!!!




Sorry for the picture overload, but it was such a nice day, and so many things to see it was too hard to choose my favorite pics, so I just chose them all!! Also, I want to please Ashley, I know she likes pictures!

It looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I've been wanting to go to that aquarium. :) Beautiful sunsets!

Secret fight!!! A couple of things:
1. I like a lot of pics too, so try to please Ashley less and me more!
2. Echo Aquarium rocks, if for no other reason than you got to be escorted by two of the most handsome men there are. So you can bite me.
3. That skirt is super cute. You looked GOOD in Monterey.

I've heard lots of good things about Carmel, so I'm jealous you guys got to go. The pictures are great, thanks for posting so many.

And I love the jellyfish! I have always wanted to have a wall in my house that's an aquarium filled with jellyfish.

What a fun time! I really want to go to an aquarium cause I've never been. The water is so blue at the beach! How beautiful. I thought Cali only had that muddy brown water.

1. Who's Alton?
2. You guys suck for not bringing us back a souvenier or something. Grr!!

1. Lisa is clearly missing out BIG time if she doesn't know who Alton is.
2. I am SO jealous you got to see him. My latest FN Claim-to-Fame was going to one of Guy's "Dives" while he was filming.
3. I feel like you've been MIA lately. Come back!!

Wow it is really beautiful there in Nothern California. It makes me jealous that we don't live closer to the Ocean. You guys are always doing such fun things, I am glad that you are having a great time out there.
