Adventures with Mom & Dad

We had a great time with Mom & Dad, who came to Monterey for a visit this weekend. We went to Duffy's (Dad's favorite pub in Monterey), Mom redeemed her Mother's Day gift of a massage, and on Saturday we walked 5+ miles up and down the recreation trail. We stopped at the Trailside Cafe for breakfast (Yum!), and stopped by the aquarium so they could see the two newest exhibits, "Wild About Otters" and "Secret Lives of Seahorses."

Here's a picture of the Leafy Seadragon from the seahorse exhibit:
And a picture of Mom & Dad by the rec trail:
On our way back to the car, we stopped at the new Clement Hotel for an afternoon glass of wine & to check out the ocean life. We spotted a lone sea otter chomping down on an abalone. I pulled out my camera to make a short video, right when another otter popped up & stole the abalone from the first otter - d'oh! Check out the (very) short clip:



Thanks Mom & Dad for a weekend full of good food & lots of fun!
