Monterey Bay Aquarium @ Cannery Row

It has been 7 years since last visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It's a great place to visit, lots of sea creatures to see and touch. We swung by Big Sur and snapped some breath-taking pictures.

Road trip to San Francisco

A week before Erica's highschool orientation, we took the girls on a road trip to Northern California. we left home on Wednesday morning, stopped by Ostrichland in Buellton to feed the Ostriches and Emus, grab a lunch at the Anderson's. we found a beautiful place at Backbay Park near Morro Bay! we spent a night at King City and started our 2nd day at 7am. We visited the Winchester Mystery House, the girls really enjoyed the tour. After lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant, we went to the Golden Gate, Fisherman's Wharf and China town. After dinner, we drive 2 hours to Marina near Monterey Bay and spend a night.
