Whale Watching

Ever since we moved to CA, I've wanted to go on a whale watching tour and we finally made it happen a few weeks ago over spring break. Luckily, no one got sea sick and we had the best time together.

Since we had to be at the boat fairly early, we figured what better way to start our morning than with donuts! Nora likes the chocolate best apparently.

It was a perfectly clear day and the water could not have been more beautiful. We did see a few grey whales but they were shy and never really came out of the water beyond making a few ripples here and there. 


 But! We did pass through a HUGE school of dolphins - probably around 50-100 - just swimming and jumping around our boat. The water was so clear you could see them swimming right next to us, it was incredible! 


Sadly, my phone died at the end of our boat trip so I wasn't able to get any pictures from the rest of our fun day at Balboa Beach - we went and hung on in the water for a bit and then rented a four person bike/buggy contraption too. The kids had a blast! It couldn't have been a more beautiful day which made up for the next week of spring break where all three of my kids came down with hand foot and mouth disease and we couldn't leave the house for over a week. Fun times.
