Day Four: Monterey Bay

We started the day with our super hot showers to awaken us from our deep slumbers, but the difference today was that it was even earlier than usual. Early as 9 am because a big day had been planned out in the city of Monterey. We left our home base to navigate across freeways and hills to get to another friend's house, where we all got into one car (a behemoth of an SUV). Onto the Monterey Bay Aquarium we drove and it was about an hour drive, so most people slept on the ride there.

The aquarium was enjoyable because it made us feel like little kids again. Also, little kids were touring the aquarium along with us. We even played in the 'Kids Only' and 'Babies Only' areas and got warned for it, oh well, let us act like kids! The aquarium is equipped with a plethora of aquatic creatures for onlookers to observe and comprehend.






The animals ranged in size and color from octupi, sharks, otters, and tuna to jellyfish, anemones, birds, and many other water loving creatures.





We hadn't eaten all day, so we looked for food down the road (not on the road literally, silly!). We came across, I kid you not, every chocolate place known to man or woman with the basic format of Chocolate-(insert place here). Some of the names were factory, emporium, land, etc.











No food places in sight, so we drove to the wharf and ate more clam chowder. I ordered popcorn shrimp and traded for some friend's calamari. It was alright to say the least, and the friends favored the clam chowder from the other day.

We wandered onto the beach and it was quite the sight. People got their kicks from writing outlandish statements about certain teams and people (the Lakers are the best and Ivan is not lame!). It was entertaining nonetheless and no one got wet, even though one person could of, haha. The drive back was filled with random what if's and which would you rather questions, so I stayed awake, lol.









The climax of the day would probably have to be at Fenton's Creamery where they served heart attacks in a cup or bowl. Every bite was oh so lovely though, and definitely worth the price of admission. I'm sharing with someone next time though because it's hearty enough for two!
You should come to expect this, but after Fenton's we went to the same house we've been going to. Once again, we had what if's and which would you rather questions, while watching Gremlins 2.We also found out that 15 crab cakes is the dealbreaker to end all dealbreakers, plus a quizno's sub, of course.





Good night and tomorrow is our last full day here!
