Back Home

We arrived back home from our trip to California last night. No matter how much I enjoy getting away, I'm always anxious to come back home!

Our trip was really busy. After seeing my mom for two days in Santa Barbara, we drove up the coast to Monterey, then were in San Francisco for two days. We saw lots of sites, but I have to say one of our favorite stops was the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We didn't have a lot of time to be there-less than two hours-so my husband and I dashed around. My two favorite things?

1) Sea Otter Pups! Oh, they were so, so cute. When we were up close, they were snuggled together sleeping, so I didn't get a good photo. Later on, though, they were floating on their backs eating a snack. I could have stood there with all the kids and watched those otters all day.

2) Puffins! I had seen otters before, but never Puffins. They, too, were super-cute. My husband was very patient with me as I watched them wander around and be birds.  I did get a photo of a Puffin.

It's chilly here today-perfect day for soup, I think.

Thanks for stopping by~
