I spent the weekend in Monterey with my old college roommate Jenn. She works for a civil engineering company up there and recently bought a house so it was time to go visit and see what she's been up to. I got there Friday afternoon and hung out with her German family next door until she got home from work. They had two little boys who liked Molly. When she got home, she showed me around her house. She's done a lot of work on it and it's coming together nicely. We walked Molly around her neighborhood and decided to go eat. We went to dinner at a Hawaiian place that night and we told each other about all our adventures lately. When we got home, we pulled out our old college RA pictures and laughed at those and reminisced about old Cal Poly days with the other RAs. I need to google those guys and find out where they are. 
Saturday, we got up and took Molly for a walk along their Rec Trail which goes by the pier and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We ate breakfast at a place outside so Molly could sit with us. Molly was so tired from walking. We took her home, then we went back to the Aquarium. Jenn is a volunteer there, so she got me in for free and showed me around. Here are pictures of jellyfish and sea otters. The sea otters are so cute. There was one in the blue tub, and then the other one decided she wanted to be in the tub too, so they were both in the tub. Then we drove up to Big Sur and found the campground where we stayed as RAs. Then we got dinner and saw the new John Cusack film, Martian Child. It's a pretty cute movie. I recommend it.
Yesterday, we had breakfast at this old fashioned place in Carmel Valley and then walked up and down the streets with Molly through old town Carmel. I can't believe the money people have there. All in all, it was a really fun visit. It'll be great to go back soon!

I went to Monterey Aquarium many moons ago, and I remember a Lappert's Ice Cream store real close to it. Ice cream, yummmm. Oh, I also remember enjoying my visit to the aquarium, too.
