Sailing In and Out of Weeks

These jellies are huge. Their bell is about the size of a human head. They are gorgeous. Their dance is utterly spellbinding and I could stare at them all day. If by chance you can make it to the Monterey Bay Aquarium before September I highly recommend seeing the "Jellies as Art" exhibit. But it goes away come September.



We went ahead and bought membership passes to the Aquarium. Adult ticket prices are $24.95 and kids are $15.95. The yearly family membership pass is $120.00. Lucy and I more than made up for the price by the end of the first week we were in Monterey. Fortunately for us, the Aquarium was nowhere near as packed as last July but there were still many people especially young kids on field trips and everybody from Europe. Like last year, Lucy and I made it part of our daily routine to take the trolley down to the Aquarium and spend an hour or two there and do something else afterwards. I can't even imagine doing the whole thing in one visit--fighting the crowds and trying to catch all the animals. But I guess my parents did it many times going to Disney and Busch Gardens.
