Wow - you got a lot of great photos at the aquarium. So colorful! I always have trouble with photos of things in tanks turning out well...
Thanks for posting all of the photos so we can enjoy your trip. After visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium, both of you will have your work cut out for you if you ever start another salt water aquarium!

Anne, fish are always difficult because they move so fast. Slower objects, like invertebrates or starfish, are infinitely easier.
Dad, that is true, but seeing the beautiful tanks made me miss our old ones.
