While I did enjoy the aquarium at Monterey it was way crowded and the rest of that town sucks. I’d give it a pass. It’s expensive l, crowded, dirty, tourist trap. Yosemite was awesome. We lined fort bragg and seeing sea glass beach too. Riding the skunk train and seeing the redwoods.

We had a great time in Monterey a month ago. The aquarium is small and while we went on Friday it was not as busy
as Saturday but was pretty full.

Note: the Atlanta aquarium is better.

We are on our way back from a Central California road trip in my wifes’ convertible.
Santa Barbara-stayed in
Solvang
Shell Beach-stayed in
PIsmo
Casmalia- The Hitching Post
Cambria
Morro Bay-Awesome
Drive up Highway 1 to Ragged Point. It is closed North of there.
Elephant Seal beach
San Jose-Graduation party
Oxnard
River for a few days.

9 days of not really having an itinerary except for the Grad party on Friday. We figured out we can probably do the rv life for summers if we want to.

If you make it far enough North I can point you to some cool spots in the redwoods and on the rivers. The Oregon Coast is absolutely a must see.
