Glass Bottom Boat Tour of Monterey Bay

Following our lunch at Domenico's we walked along the wharf and were talked into taking the whole family on a glass bottom boat tour of the bay. Now note that the day was still foggy at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and light conditions were less than optimal for viewing fish, but 'hey' how often do we get down to Monterey, and how often do we get to take the kids on their first boat ride on the bay?

Iain decided to be our intrepid fearless photographer and help me chronicle the voyage using a small digital camera I got for Christmas a couple years ago.

The girls however were far more interested in watching the kelp go by underneath us. Yeah, kelp was about all we saw, but that was good enough for them.

Aidan slept through most of the ride, but before it was over he decided to wake up and check out what all the commotion was about. Overall everyone enjoyed our quick trip around the bay, and while we didn't see too much in the way of fish, we got to check out a lot of sea lions, birds and kelp, and we learned a little bit about the local history from the boat's captain. All in all, a good time!

Update: I added all the day's pictures to a Web Album
