eaded down the road. We took off from San Diego and headed up the coast towards Monterey. On Wednesday we got to the Monterey Bay Aquarium just before lunch so we ate lunch and then headed to the aquarium. Part of going to the aquarium was to meet up with another adoptive family that adopted from All As One in Sierra Leone. It was so much fun to meet up with Lorie and her daughter Hawa who is 10 years old. Ann Marie and Tonia remembered her from the Center and it was fun to see them interact with each other. The kids also really enjoyed the aquarium...sharks, otters, bat rays, birds, tuna, sun fish, jelly fish, octopus, and lots and lots of different kids of fish! Ethan and Tyler got to touch the bat rays and said they felt very soft and kind of slimy! It was a fun stop on our way up the coast, not just the aquarium which was a great learning experience, but also the opportunity for our kids to reconnect with friends from Sierra Leone!
