My trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium! Lots of pics!

[BeanMachine]

Hey All,

Thought I'd share some photos of my recent trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was nice, but I was expecting much grander. We are fortunate to have the Aquarium of the Pacific right here in Long Beach as I would say they are both really similar.

Here you go! I'll add them in sections... I've got like 30 pics to post! Enjoy!

I'll start with this guy. Wish I could clean my tank like this. Someday...

You must have been standing right next to me! I was there this last weekend and took some of the same pictures. At least a lot of the reef one.

No, I was there Saturday though. I was taking pictures with my camera phone and had a brown VANS shirt on.

Yep, we also paid for the 17 mile drive through Pebble Beach. Drooled a little.

Did you play a round of golf at Pebble beach while you were there?
Did you watch them feed the big tank with tuna in it? (sorry, can't see the pics at work)

Awe heck no, I wish though but can only guess what a round would cost and can already tell you I can't afford it.

Yeah, made a point to see that. Here are some pics of that. Just imagine what they look like until you get home. :crazy1:

My buddies and I tried to play a round there for a bachelor party. They wanted $300 each plus you have to stay in their hotel to guarantee your tee time which was $500 a night maximum of 2 people. YIKES!!!. so we ended up playing Torrey Pines South course.

Hey, thanks for sharing those photos. Awsome! I have been to the Montery Bay Aquarium several times, but not for the past couple of years. I have never seen that (Incredible) reef! Do you know how long they have had that there. I can't imagine being there and missing that one (even with my family bugging me to ' hurry up', cause I'm staring too long at each exhibit)!

nice pics cody!

yeah, pebble beach is $300+ for 18 holes. i think its over $175 just to play nine

did you see their practice green and chipping area? its nicer than most golf courses!!
