A morning treasure hunt on the beach
First stop: Monterey Bay Aquarium.
We spent all of the morning exploring the aquarium. We saw three feedings, penguins, open sea, and kelp forest, and met a very curious octopus.
Big Sur
Second Stop: Bixby Canyon Bridge.
This part of the drive was incredible, and if we stopped at every lookout or vista point, we would have never made it to Los Angeles.
Third Stop: Elephant Seal brooding grounds
These guys were so loud and funny, Megan couldn’t stop laughing
