We had a great time in Chico visiting Kendra but it was time get on the road again and head home. But before heading back to San Diego we decided to take a quick detour to the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey,CA....

Patrick taking a short rest on this stone bench along Cannery Row on our short walk to the Aquarium...

Patrick found a Penny machine so that he could add a Monterey penny to his collection.....

Patrick and Pat walking in the rain to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.....

We made it just in time to see this diver feeding the fish....

Patrick climbed into this giant penguin shell.... The aquarium had a very large window that had waves from the ocean crashing right over your head...

A view of the ocean and the back of the Fish Hopper where we had lunch in Monterey....

My boys were all Smiles at lunch.......

Despite the rain we still had a beautiful view from our table....
