We knew the Pacific Coast Highway was a place of monumental beauty, but this little gem came unexpected.

As we drove northbound through Big Sur this Thanksgiving, we couldn’t help but see countless signs pointing toward one attraction in particular: The Monterey Bay Aquarium. After a smidgen of online research, we decided it seemed silly not to make a stop. Thus, we pulled over to sleep on Cannery Row (this adorable road deserves a blog post all its own) and decided to head to the aquarium first thing in the morning.

We thought about trying to convince you to go with long soliloquies and ego-shaming, but why don't we just show you? Check out these photos and try to tell us you don't want to go :)
