This is new thing for me to participate in!
Jenny is our host!
Found out about it on Ellen's blog,
so I decided I could join in this time.
Just got back from short vacation and we went to a couple of
"A" places.
It was lovely staying at Asilomar.
Found out Asilomar means "a refuge by the sea".
That is a very good description of the place.
With our stay there, we also got passes to an Aquarium.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium to be exact.
I was happy to be able to get a picture of the underside of what we think is a skate.
Doesn't it look cool?!?
A is also for anchovies.
There are a bunch of them in this tank along with a bunch of sardines.
They are in constant motion.
This is a circular tank and around and around they go
constantly chasing each other.
Have a happy week going into the weekend!

Hi Linnea, thanks for visiting me and the follow on Pinterest. I am slightly addicted to it. I am now following your blog and hope you will follow back! I also love Starbucks and Cracker Barrel. xo
hi Linnea! You really had a great A trip for sure! Way back in the 60's I went on a weekend retreat to Asilomar...That was so long ago. I'm glad you are participating in Alphabe-Thursday. Enjoy...
Hi Linnea
You'll enjoy AT's they're always fun.
Great A post.

Oh, I love that aquarium. Lots of good memories from that place!
I love aquariums, I find watching the fish so peaceful. The stingray reminds me of The Crocodile man, if it is in fact a stingray. Would love to visit your neck of the woods someday!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog! I have participated in alpha-be since the beginning and you will meet so many nice folks! My hubby is retired from the Tennessee Aquarium and we visited the Monterey Aquarium several years ago. I was amazed at the anchovies as well. Have a great weekend.
what a fun post for Jenny's meme...
Glad you had such a nice time.

Welcome to Alphabe-Thursday! I love this meme!
A "refuge by the sea" sounds awesome!
I love Monterey Bay Aquarium! I was there once with my family a number of years ago and thought it was wonderful!
This was a great post! Thank you for sharing today! Hope your week is terrific! Alphabe Thursday is terrific! Welcome!
What a fun and restful post for the letter A.
Your vacation looks like it was fabulous! My Grandlittles always want to visit the aquariums, too. The look of wonder on their faces is absolutely priceless!
