Pacific Grove

View from the Aquarium in Monterey. Even on an overcast day it’s pretty incredible.
Neon fish
In lower left corner of pic, can see seal pup suckling its mother and next to them a female soon to calf. 

Long section of bike trail fenced off. Spring is home to seals in the Monterey area.

Looking towards Hopkins Marine Station from the Monterey Peninsula Recreational Trail
The first time I wished I brought a wetsuit with me. This water was so clear and after visiting the aquarium I wanted to jump in and see all the fish for myself!

Of the three rooms we in which we have stayed at Seven Gables, the Garden Room was our least favorite. It is comfortably appointed like the others but is situated at ground level. Also, the bathroom ceiling is low, which was manageable but not ideal (husband is 6’7”).

We had a great stay celebrating my birthday and enjoyed the Vista Blue Spa! Our room was very clean and we liked our partial ocean view. The location is ideal as it’s along the waterfront but a quick walk to shop or dine on Cannery Row. We’ll definitely be back again,
