This morning we went on a whale watching cruise. Dan and I took Talia and Kayli with us on the cruise and left the rest of the children at home with Dan’s parents. We all had a great time! We left out of a harbor in Long Beach. We went on a Harbor Breeze Cruise. The cruise was scheduled to last 2 to 2 1/2 hours. When we hit the 2 hour mark and still hadn’t sighted any whales, I thought that we wouldn’t be seeing any on this cruise. But thanks to a very determined captain, we ended up seeing two grey whales.
It was so interesting to watch them. The would come up to the surface and clear out their blow holes. Like this:
Then stay at the surface for a few minutes. Then they would dive back down and if you were lucky, you got to see their tale.
We also saw dolphins
Sea lions
and Pelicans.
