This weekend was spent ALL OVER the Bay area with some amazing friends from Los Angeles.
Through a friend, we were super blessed to be able to go the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Monterey was unbelievably beautiful. Starting the morning on Saturday driving along the ocean on the 1 was amazing.
It makes us wonder why we're not in a different town every weekend. There are so many amazing cities within 4 hours of Redding & we're looking forward to exploring more of them in the coming months.
This next creature is actually a type of jellyfish too. It's the only place in the whole world that these are in captivity and on display because they're so fragile.
See these guys? Moon-something jellies. We got to touch one! It felt like mucus-covered jello. (Mmm, think on that for a bit.)
I could have spent the entire day just watching and listening to the beach. Monterey had the most amazing rocks and cliffs, and we even got a chance to see some wildlife. Those are not rocks on that beach.
We could explore new towns every day all day and be happy as ever. We stopped on our way back to Redding to have an authentic Mexican lunch at a place called Cancun. That food bar in the picture is a salsa bar - 20 different salsas. It was so tasty and everything was organic and farm grown locally.
I wish I had one of the group pictures of all of us (and the ones of Jimmy and I didn't turn out well because of shadows). It was the most refreshing weekend and exploring, great food, many rounds of Settlers of Catan and really good time with friends.
