Monterey

Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.

— John Steinbeck

I love absoutely everything about Monterey. The town itself, the beach, the bay waters, the beautiful climate, the fog, the architecture, the history, the Steinbeck (oh yes...Steinbeck <3) and most of all, the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Scott & I are members of the best aquarium on the west coast, and we try to go as often as possible to commune with the fishes. It's just a wonderful place that makes us both very happy. ♥

We spent our Sunday in Monterey, a lazy, beautiful day of exploration & conversation. We thought we'd run into the typical terrible traffic x 1000 going home due to a PGA golf tournament, but it was the lightest traffic we've ever experienced in the area (and the aquarium was relatively empty compared to normal). Whatever the reason, it made for a much more pleasant trip than we'd ever hoped for. Love you, Monterey.
