Today we took the girls to the Monterey Bay Aquarium – a first for Nalani. We invited Lily and her family to join us, because as Joey said, “They like fish.” (More to the point, Tracee and James dive.) But they enjoy the big tank and jelly fish as much as we do, and in fact were with us on our last visit two years ago.

Nalani loved the one million gallon fish tank above all else. At one point she lounged on her back right at its edge, and stared up at the school of sardines racing by. All three girls loved the touch tide pools and Melina and Lily had a blast in the splash tank. Next time I’ll be sure to spend more time watching the uber cool jelly fish, and we’ll also find a better spot for lunch!
