Monterey Bay Aquarium

By Brooke

On Thursday, October 27, we wanted to do something fun, so we went to the aquarium. Sadly, Max was sick, and my dad had to finish work, so it was a girl’s day. I wish the boys came. When we got there, we bought tickets, then we started with going to the sea otters! I got to see my favorite otter named Ivy. She has a white head and the rest of her was grayish brown. Next, we saw like 1,000 tunas. After that we saw so many jellyfish, we even saw baby moon jellies. We even went to an aquarium filled with lots of fish including mahi-mahi and a hammerhead shark, and leopard sharks.

Then we saw penguins and got to go in a glass circle that looks like you could be underwater swimming with the penguins. We also got to touch sea urchin, kelp, decorator crabs, starfish, hermit crabs, and last but not least stingray. There was a little room with an arch of glass that you could go under that water goes on top of you. Well, on top of the glass it felt like you were underneath a waterfall. There was also a dome-like the penguin exhibit that you could go in. We had a lot of fun at the aquarium!
