I was able to spend most of the day this last Friday at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I took a few pics as it was convienent and thought I'd post a few here. The Displays were very nice throughout and I was very impressed by the Jellyfish and seahorses exhibits.

Some Pics for you to enjoy...

My wife is calling... will post more pics soon...
 
... and the highlight of the day for me was the ray petting pool area. Normally I can never get close enough to one to pet but this time I got a really personable guy who loved to be pet and kept coming back for more.

I'm so jealous! Our membership ran out just before they opened the seahorse exhibit. :( We even made a family trip a couple months ago thinking it was open, but it wasn't ...boo. :(

Thanks for the pics though! :) I love their nudibranchs too. We saw this really bright flaming yellow/orange one last year. So incredible. :)

It wasn't too bad. We ate lunch over at the warf before coming over. Took about 1/2 an hour to find parking but once we nailed that we were good. Walked right in. A few of the exhibits were pretty crowded so we just skipped them and came back later after the crowd had cleared.

Ya... it was a lot of fun. "The Secret Lives of Seahorses" exhibit was pretty cool. The Leafy Dragon Sea Horses (First Pic) were awsome. They are about 10" tall each.
