the drive home, Day 2

On Tuesday, we got up and went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  It was wonderful!  The kids especially loved the deep sea with the hammer head shark, and the sea horses.  

There was a big groovy exhibit on Jellies, which we all enjoyed.

After the aquarium, we were all pretty pooped and hungry.  We had a nice mexi lunch at a local resturant that overlooked the Bay.

After lunch, to facilitate a nap for the girls, we took a drive down highway 1 in search for sea otters.  We didn't find any otters, but we did find some beautiful scenery!

 After nap time, we headed to the Dennis the Menace playground.  It was AMAZING!  It was so different than any playground I'd ever seen, with so much to do!

 Tunnels and bridges, double giant slides. . .

 a huge roller slide

 and a hedge maze.  The kids had a blast here.  We could have stayed all night!
