Christmas Break {Part 4: Monterey Aquarium & The Wharf}

For the next few days Clark and I will be relaxing in beautiful Monterey. We are staying with his family at their beach house. Now for those of you who have been following our blog from the beginning/ the ones who we've told our engagement story to should know Monterey is where Clark and I got engaged. And even though both of us love this place so much, we haven't been back here since we got engaged! So this is going to be a very sweet reminiscent trip for us :) If you feel like reminiscing too, or just want to know how Clark proposed, check out my post here.

On our first day in Monterey we went to the aquarium - one of my favorite places! It was so fun to show Opal and Eli all the fish and sea creatures. They had the best reactions. I did my best to capture the moments, even though the lighting was very dim. After the aquarium we went to Fisherman's Wharf for some of the area's best clam chowder. YUM! Check it out:

^I love having my little buddies! P.S. - Thanks Min for letting me steal some of your cute instagrams!^

^Uncle Clark made a good tour guide for E^

^The octopus was zipping around his exhibit! I have never seen him so active^

^Eli was nervous to reach out into the glass bubble when I wasn't in it. I had to touch the glass so he knew it was safe to climb in! ^

^This was just too cute of little E^

The Wharf

^Best saltwater taffy!^

^ E's new thing is to say "Hey Baby"! With his sugar mustache he was too cute! ^
