Road Trip Part 4

We spent the night at a Microtel Inn at Morgan Hill. Which I do NOT recommended! It was ok but "OK" at best. The morning of Thursday the 10th found us traveling south. Enroute of the Monterey Bay Aquairum.

But of course we HAD to make a stop for this:

The Worlds LARGEST artichoke! Right in the heart of artichoke country, Castroville.
Where there is nothing but this:

ARTICHOKES!

Awesome little pitstop, then it was on our way to Montery, which was a surprising 25 mins. Orion kept saying "I can see the ocean!"

And we finally got there:


And he LOVED it. I couldnt get over how clean everything was. The bathrooms were spotless.

Orion quickly became infactuated with this:



JELLIES! He loved them!

The bat rays were pretty popular as well. He loved watching them swim around and try to climb out...


And the best part... It was alll FREEEEEEE! A gal I work with volunteers there.
All I can say is thanks for the free tickets, Jessica!!
