Monterey Bay Getaway.....Day 2

Today was much better weather. We started out our day with a 3 hour whale watching tour on a boat in Monterey. It was really neat, only about a dozen people went on the 9am tour so there was plenty of room. We saw at least 20 whales. We didn't get super close to them but it was still awesome. We also saw lots of sea lions diving amongst the waves and even right in front of the whales like they were playing with them. We also saw tons of jelly fish just under the surface glowing under the water as we toured out to see the whales. After our boat ride we shared some calamari and a chowder bread bowl, did some shop browsing, took a hike, and then flew a kite on the beach. We had a lot of fun but now we're beat and just want to veg in our hotel room.

Here we are...going out on the boat



We probably saw about 20 whales. We didn't get right up next to them but it was still amazing



Some seals on a rock that stank like you can't imagine

I think Tyson's diaper probably comes close to the smell of the seals :) Mom
