Monterey Trip and Father's Day weekend

We had a fantastic weekend! It was short, a little rush, but nonetheless, we were able to have fun and not think about work or wedding planning.

The sole purpose of the trip was to take Aidan to the Monterey Aquarium, since he always shows interests in checking out the fish in fish tanks at restaurants. He saw some big fishies, but wasn't very interested in most of them. He had a lot more fun playing in the children's area than checking out the big sharks. It's all good. He's still young and we'll probably go back when he's a little older.

His favorite activity was to play with the water and squirting plastic fish at the children's area. He was laughing and running around, getting himself all wet. We didn't put an apron on him and his shirt and socks got all wet the first day. We went back the second day and we're prepared this time. We put on those yellow aprons provided, and I bought a extra set of clothes. I knew he's going to get so wet.




Aidan also had a lot of fun walking on the "water bed" in the children's area. He was a little wobbly and unsteady at first, but he got the hang of it and was able to walk and run around. He also played with another kid that was a little older than he is. The little boy was almost wrestling with Aidan, but it was all good fun. Aidan was laughing and playing with him.. no harm done.

Another fun event for Aidan was the slide. Ever since he tried that, he's been a big fan. He can now climb up the stairs by himself and slide down without much help (of course not when it was a very steep and fast one).

The second day of our trip was Father's Day. This time, mommy was behind the camera so daddy and Aidan got to take some pictures. Before we boarded on their free trolley to the aquarium, the conductor lent us her hat so daddy and Aidan both got to take a picture with it. The trolley rides were enjoyable and Aidan was well-behaved.
