Bruce and I picked up Mama this morning and set off for the Monterey Bay Aquarium -- her birthday wish was to visit the jellies, seahorses and octopi. We were more than happy to oblige!

| Jellies admiring Mama |
The Aquarium is so large, with so much to see, that we focus on a few exhibits rather than try to visit everything. The jellies, as usual, were enchantingly etherial while the seahorses were adorable in their coltish sort of ways. The big surprise were the two giant octopi. Usually they're squeezed up into the rocks of their tanks and one is lucky to glimpse a single bulging eye and a limp tentacle. But today they were both in rare form; writhing up the sides of the glass and putting on quite the energetic show. They're probably still laughing that I was so captivated that I totally forgot to take any pictures.

Me admiring seahorses
Mama and I are very much alike in a lot of ways.
After last week's two fires, life at Frogpond lately has been way too exciting. Nice to spend a day celebrating!
