Choices - we make them everyday! Some turn out to be bad choices and some turn out to be good choices. Today I made both kinds - but as I've said before, "All's well that ends well."
The Monterey Aquarium is often mentioned as being one-of-the-best and I thought we would go there while in town. However, when we saw the price of the tickets $40 for adult and $35 for seniors, we paused...questioning the idea of spending that much money at an aquarium. It was a good choice, a very good choice that we went there. Highly recommend it!
As you know, I don't go very many new places that I don't have my camera with me. After 20+ days of touring, my camera feels heavier and heavier and I made the choice to leave my camera in the car instead of bringing it into the aquarium. Well, the look of shock on hubby's face when he found out I left my camera in the car was enough for me to think, "I may have made a bad choice." He went back to the car to retrieve my camera and am I glad he did. Very good choice. Warning: Lots of photos from the aquarium visit. Most were taken through plastic/glass windows, so you may see some glare or feedback on some of the photos. Enjoy, we sure did!
After lunch, we took the 17 miles Pebble Beach auto tour. It was 30 years ago that I took this tour and was impressed, so I was eager to show hubby what I saw. But, changes have occurred. Trees have grown and houses have been built along the road blocking many views that I had. Sometimes change is disappointing, as we "mourn" for the way things used to be. But all-in-all, we did get some photos of the overlooks and the sea action. Just no photos of the golf holes next to the sea that I remember.
Drove along the beach towards the east and saw more of Monterey Bay.
Here's a couple more Monterey photos, seals lounging in the marina among the many boats.
As you can see in this photo, the clouds were rolling in and it was a good choice that we went and got our sunset photos last night, as these clouds did not roll on out and you couldn't see a sun set tonight. Besides that, we were enjoying a postponed anniversary dinner tonight. Good choice for a change! ;)
