Monterey with Sheri and Dallin

Mom and I took Sheri and Dallin to Monterrey on Saturday. It has been raining here for about two weeks and was still raining a little when we arrived in Monterey, but it cleared up later.

Since we were hungry, the first thing we did was go to the Fish Hopper restaurant. This is the same place Mom and I ate when we went in January. The waiter took a photo of the four of us at our table with the ocean view. Dallin was enjoying the bread while we waited for our food.

Mom and I both ordered the Macadamia crusted Halibut. It was amazingly good like last time. Sheri got the seafood platter with crab with a skewer of scallops and shrimp with rice. She looked like she was enjoying her food.

After we ate, we went to the Aquarium. Dallin and the rest of us enjoyed the exhibits such as the sea anemones.

Sheri and Dallin got to be in the aquarium. There was a tunnel that they crawled through to get to the other side.

Dallin really liked the star fish that were available to touch. There were bat rays that people could touch, but they were not getting close to the people while we were there.

Dallin discovered that he really likes chocolate chip cookies. He liked them so much that he even swallowed.

We stopped at Ghirardelli for Hot Fudge sundaes. I did not get a photo before we started eating, but they looked and tasted amazingly good. Here is Sheri finishing off the last of them.

After we got home and Dallin had his bath, he decided that he did not like the gate that kept him from going down the stairs, so he tried to go under. He got stuck, so we rescued him. He was more annoyed than upset about getting stuck.

We had a great day. It has been fun having Sheri and Dallin visit.
