Dear Matty,
Today, we spent R’s birthday in Monterey Bay Aquarium. R was given a birthday button to wear, so when aquarium staff saw him they greeted him. Quite sweet 🙂
There weren’t any great white sharks on exhibit. Luckily, we caught a video presentation on the aquarium’s Project White Shark. And at least R saw some leopard sharks and sevengill sharks on exhibit.
R was also fascinated with the Giant Pacific octopus on exhibit and the Wave Crash gallery (like being underwater when a wave crashes!).
My favorite moment was the animal feeding in the kelp forest exhibit. A wolf eel was unusually snuggling close to Mike the Diver, maybe because it was grateful for the food. Too cute!
As I had expected, I was still blown away by the beauty of Monterey Bay. Nature at its finest and purest.
Love, Mommy
