Naval Postgraduate School and Monterey Bay Aquarium, CA

We had a super big day today! We started off by going to the Naval Postgraduate School to pick up discounted tickets to the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose - we'll be visiting there in a few days.

Anyway, this facility is just outstanding! The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the main building, Hermann Hall (formerly Hotel del Monte), is jaw-dropping gorgeous! If space is available, military members and retirees can reserve a room at Hermann Hall; if we did not have our rolling home, this would be a fabulous place to stay while visiting the Monterey area.

After picking up our tickets, we went to lunch at the Monterey Fish House, a local eatery off the tourist path. The food was most excellent... highly recommended! We then made our way to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where we spent several hours enjoying the exhibits.

I first visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium back in 1988, and was totally impressed with it! 27 years later and numerous other aquariums under my belt, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is still outstanding and a must-see if you're ever in the area.
