Adventures in Monterey: Sea Kayaking

Have you ever been sea kayaking? If you haven't, I highly recommend it.

Last weekend, Aaron, my parents and I, took advantage of a two-for-one Groupon for sea kayaking in Monterey through the fabulous folks at Adventures By The Sea. Having rented equipment through the company before, I knew we were getting a fabulous deal. And it could not have been a more gorgeous day!

Both Aaron and I, and my mom and dad, decided to ride tandem in a two-person boat, or "divorce boat" as one staff person called them. It was awesome for me -- having both of us in a boat enabled me to take photos while on the water. It was pretty awesome. Check it out!

Dolphins! OMG. Dolphins!

Gross Sea weed, kelp, stuff.
There may be a sea otter in there, too.

A bird! 
Jelly Fish. Underwater Jelly Fish.

Still stinky sea lions, and their bird friends.

There's the Sea Otter!

Photo of the Week: Week 27

Oh, summer... why must you go by so quickly?

One of my fabulously wonderful Carroll Fowler friends gave me these cute little cupcake candles. Aren't they adorable?

My husband decided to make some Mocha Mousse, using our espresso maker and the Joy of Cooking's Chocolate Mousse recipe

And, while we sadly missed one of Aaron's friends getting married in Iowa (tear, sniff, sniff), we did manage to make it to Monterey to use our Groupon for Sea Kayaking
