Spring Break was almost over, so we decided to fit in one more adventure- something that every kid in school has done- except I hadn't. We went whale watching out of Newport Bay. We woke the kids up early, picked up my parents and headed out for a few hours at sea. I was so excited. We got on the boat- went straight to the seats on the top and took it all in. The scenery was incredible from the homes on the shore, to the water, to the surrounding boats. Everyone loved it- especially when we found a pod of three gray whales. They stayed near us for about half an hour and for all of that time we got about a 100 pictures of dark water ad about 7 with actual whale parts in it. Right about an hour into it the fun ended for me as went below deck and made friends with the boat railing-EWWW, but the family had a blast. Eli kept looking over the upper railing and yelling down to me to ask if I was still sick- I was praying for dry land!! On the way back to shore we saw sea lions too which was fun- the kids barked at them.
Good-bye spring break! Back to real world again...at least until June!
Nice! Me and the sick foreign exchange girl behind me.

These are great pictures. You slumped over is my favorite. Too funny. I have had an identical experience on a boat in college. I didn't get to see a single whale from the galley of the boat.
Loving your updated posts.
Looks like your family got some great time together. Awesome!
How many days until summer?
Hey! I'm surprised that you said my Grandma looks like my mom! People don't really say that that much. I think my mom got a good mix of both parents. My mom was looking at some of the pictures of your kids and she says that your lucky 'cause your kids actually look like you. She says she went through all the pain of giving birth to us and that my dad (who didn't suffer at all) got all the looks. My dad says he can't help being good-looking! Oh Jeez! My parents! They can be so funny at times! LOL! :)
