Dan, Lara, Daphne, Zane, Scarlet, Brauer....it was so much fun to have you join us in Pacific Grove California! One morning, Dan and I took Daphne and Zane to whale watch. Of course I wasn't able to get a decent picture. I needed a professional camera and better skills to say the least. May I just say it was fantastic. The highlight was when our boat was smack dab in the middle of about 12 whales. The captain said, "well, you can look just about anywhere and see a whale!" They were close to the boat and all around us, we could smell their breath (stinky!) and feel their splashes and sprays.
The crummy pictures I did get show just how close they were. So the photos show only their backs... Dan tried as well, and I don't think he had any better luck. Still, the pictures are definitely in our memories!
Also, we had about 4 dolphins swimming underneath the hull of the boat. I guess they like to swim there because they catch a current that the boat provides and it makes their swimming easier. We loved watching them (Titanic style!) Lots of sea lions and seals, and unusual birds to observe as well.
Zane was in heaven until the dramamine took control and he fell asleep!

Wow. you got so many pictures. I need them.... will you send them to me? I think you were our personal photographer on the trip. So nice. Thanks again for a fabulous time.
