I Shall Call Him Squishy, And He Shall Be Mine

The Hub had a business meeting in Monterey this week, so the ChubBub and I got to tag along. We stayed in a century old hotel right in town, walking distance to not only Fisherman's Wharf (tee hee, the word wharf makes me laugh) but also these nice fellas... (I especially dig the dude "hiding" under the orange buoy.)

We stayed an extra day and got to spend a family afternoon at the aquarium...
The fish behind my baseball becapped husband in the picture below are Tuna, and if anything the picture makes them look smaller than they were. So yes, these fish were bigger than my son. Scawy fish!
My favorites were the jellyfish, and I have to confess that they were all swimming upside down so I have flipped the pictures, because it just looked weird the other way...

Here's my cue ball headed son with some big narsty stringy chaps

Here was a really pretty (I say pretty because I am behind an inch-thick honking plate of glass) blue baubled jelly who was also swimming upside down. All the better to see up his colorful skirts, I say.

I just have one more multimedia presentation in my show and tell today, of cute little zippy jellyfish. I always think of them as languorous critters, but not these! The red one at the beginning bonks into the glass and flattens his wee noggin for a sec, before swimming on...
