Aunt Barbara arrived yesterday morning, and we had a nice relaxing day. In the evening, she helped with dinner so we had a spinich souffle, chicken, and lemon pudding cakes. Yum! Today, since Joshua and I both had the day off, the three of us drove over to Monterey Bay and Carmel.
Our trip was wonderful! We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is literally on the bay, and we saw sea otters, blackfooted penguins, a great white shark, a sun fish which is 500 pounds and just a year old, and a lot of other fish!
The building itself is unique since it is a refurbished building from Cannery Row. I had forgotten how neat the building is. Joshua and I were at the aquarium the day we got engaged, so it holds special memories for me. We all loved the exhibits.
Then, we drove to the Highlands Inn in Carmel for a late lunch. One of Joshua's coworkers suggested it for the view of the ocean, and it was breathtaking! The hotel is built on a cliff overlooking the ocean. We sat up in the lounge (a room full of windows) and ate our lunch as we gazed onto the ocean. It was raining at this point, but the rain added to the view. Amazing! We'll definitely go back to Carmel and spend more time. Again, we were in Carmel the day we got engaged, and it was a beautiful town. I now know why a certain friend of ours visits her uncle and aunt in Carmel all the time!
Tonight, once we got home, Joshua made fudge for our party tomorrow. We have over 60 people planning on stopping by! It's going to be crazy!

A great white! That's awesome. They didn't have one when we went last year.
Have fun at the party! Sounds like a busy day; wish we could stop by.
Great party Briggs! Thanks for having us!
just because God hasn't blessed you with kids yet doesn't mean you're exempt from having to post pictures!!! I know you got 'em.
