Monterey, CA

We live San Francisco Bay Area, and there are a lot of weekend getaways north and south. So when we finally settled in Sunnyvale, it was the time for weekend getaways and hikes. To start with, we decided to drive south to the Monterey Bay. Monterey is famous for its bay aquarium, beach, whale watching and of course the natural beauty. But remember, our all travels have a dramatic story and that I'll discuss later in this post. This was a two day trip which included The Monterey Bay Aquarium & walks in the city the first day and Whale Watching in the Pacific Ocean the second day.

I was already imagining beautiful silk fabrics with these textures and colors! OMG! the imagination was beautiful. I wished I could create it right there!

we took Princess, Monterey Whale Watching


lots and lots of Seals, Pinnipeds

Now we started our 3hrs journey into the deep Pacific Ocean to see whales. It was all exciting till about an hour, but after that the excitement was all gone. I have a common problem of motion-sickness and since our Princess's vessel was little small and waves were huge, the combination was bad for my situation. We did see the whales, huge ones and beautiful, but there was no interest left to click them. After 3hrs, all was well :). I was all ready for the next vacation!
