Trip to the Aquarium

I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  Even more since they got a Mantis Shrimp.  see link

And I got a rocking picture of it and I only had to wait like 10 minutes for it to come out from under it's coral and check us out.  Probably wondering if it could eat us.


John and I are obsessed with mantis shrimp and have even gone so far as to try to get one.  Probably because you need kevlar gloves to clean the tank and our lives don't involve enough kevlar.

We also spent quite a bit of time watching the cuttlefish, which are AWESOME.  There were a bunch of babies the last time we were at the aquarium and now the babies are all grown up.  There  were like 20 in the tank;  swimming around and changing colors and looking adorable.  If you're unfamiliar with cuttlefish, check out this video:

Now you know why cuttlefish are the lactose intolerable cheese makers of the sea.
