Monterey Aquarium

We took Sarah (and Lora) to the Monterey Aquarium for the first time this weekend. This is by far my favorite Aquarium in the country. The architecture of the buildings, the exhibits and the presentation is outstanding. Oh, they also have a fantastic cafeteria. If you ever visit the San Francisco Bay Area, this is well worth a trip.

Here is Sarah having just touched her first Star Fish.

My favorite exhibit is the jelly fish one.

Also the huge sea tank where you can see the huge Sun Fish and Tuna.

I had never heard of sunfish until I watched this very engaging TED presentation by Tierney Thys: TED Talks - Tierney Thys. It ties together two of these animals: sunfish mainly eat jellyfish.

Absolutely love the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I have a good shot of Chrysaora Fuscescens (Sea Nettle) myself at http://shanecrawford.org/2007/33/its-a-jelly-eh.
