Lifetime Dream Achieved

An impromtu trip back to southern California brought a chance to fulfill a wish I've had for most of my life. Thanks to my fabulous other half and his mother, I was was able to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium! In middle school I read an article in National Geographic magazine about the kelp forest and the aquarium and I've wanted to see it ever since. I was so inspired by everything that I saw there! So many beautiful colors, textures and I even got to touch a bat ray! The rays have adorable faces that remind me of dolphins.
