Monterey Fun

My friend Skyler was leaving for a Coast Guard trade school. She is going to go for MST, that is a marina science technician. We thought we should go on one more trip before she left. So we  headed off to one of our favorite places MONTEREY. While we were there we thought it would be fun to go diving. SOOO we did what any mermaid would do but go to the local dive shop, rent some gear and went diving.  The weather was a perfect 80 degrees. The water temperature was a freezing 50 degrees.

 (Just a little cold)

Here are a few pictures of the dive.

This was a large Sea Hare Slug. He was close to a foot long 

(Fun fact they can grow up to 16in long)

I have not seen so many sand dollars in one place.

 It was a really neat thing to see.

That little white speck is an octopus

(Just a baby)

That's me

That's Skyler

We also went looking for Mermaid Tears (sea glass, found a good amount) and did some shopping.

This is my new friend.

 I was just a few feet from this lovey otter. 

(I can not believe how beautiful this picture turned out)

Here are some more beautiful pictures from the weekend

I did some paddle boarding while Skyler hung out on the beach.

This little seal pup came up to rest for a bit.

 Isn't he just adorable!!!!

It was such a great trip.
