Day two dawned nice and bright. After breakfast at our hotel we headed to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We had to make a pit stop for some Oragel as poor Lene Bean had been hit in the mouth and it developed into quite the open wound. It looked painful and actually swelled up a bit.
The aquarium was cool! So much to see and a lot of hands on activities. After about four hours we headed out to dine at a Food Network Favorite.
Poor Lene, they didn't have straws due to their effect on the sea life. She was a mess. It hurt to eat and drink, but she was a trooper and made the best of it.
As if all the sea life scenery wasn't enough, we adventured along the way to our hotel too.

Day two was another action packed, exploring kind of day. These girls were up for anything! Julia and I shared the task of driving and it was just such joy: all of it. . .except the wifi wasn't working in our room, but hey. Can't have everything all the time!
Notable mention: we went to Cambria for dinner. It was a Mexican Restaurant and Lene Bean and Layla were talking in accents while we waited. Lene decided she was going to stay in character the whole time we were there...which she did. As we left, the table beside us (with early twenty-somethings) was already nearing their car talking about the girl, who "didn't look British at all, but was Beyond British." She was on cloud nine. I loved how they made it a point to talk loud enough so we could all hear and they were complimenting her not making fun of. It meant the world to her 12-year-old heart.
