If you ever get a chance to visit the Central part of the Left Coast, one suggested stop, besides Yosemite National Park, is the Monterey Bay Aquarium. If you have ever seen Star TrekIV, The Voyage Home, then you might recognize the aquarium. One of us was even there when they filmed!
Here are just a few pictures to view. Let's head on inside, shall we?
Here is one of the Sea Otters. They are actually trained in a manner of sorts, but it is for their benefit. They are trained to get into nets so that they can be taken out of the tank for treatment. All the Otters at the Aquarium cannot be returned to the ocean for various reasons.
Hard to get a picture of them under the water. 
Not fossils, but the skeleton of a whale.
Some of the Jellyfish found in the Monterey Bay.
Yes, this is actually a Seahorse, one called a Dragon Seahorse.
Yet another Seahorse that looks like the plastic plants you buy for your aquarium. Weird!
Seahorse swimming on by.
Sunset in Monterey.
Next time we go, it will be during Library Week when they give more free tickets!
