our neighbors gave us some free tickets to go whale watching from redondo beach. it was a beautiful, brisk day in january and we were all set to see some whales-this migration season has been phenomenal so far and we had high hopes. we started off by seeing some sea lions basking in the sun. we all thought that was cool. i know these creatures live in the vast ocean, but it is still trippy to actually see them. we moved around to various parts of the ocean and still saw nothing. about an hour and a half into the journey we spotted our first whale. it was amazing to see up close. then, on the other side of the boat we saw another one. it was perfect, as if they were taking turns for us. we watched for about an1/2 hour and then had to return. on the return ride the captain spotted a bunch of dolphins...they were splashing around...as we got closer we noticed there were about 1,000 of them, at least. i am NOT kidding!! we coasted right in the middle of them-i had little boo and mark had miss BIG. we were ALL amazed. i was so happy the girls were able to see some of God's creation (and happy i was too)!
the sea lions basking...
some of richard simmon's friends eating granola bars...just love the hats on the girls!
all the splashing are dolphins playing in the water (you can even see some underneath the water). this was only a fraction of what we saw. i was in much amazement and forgot to take the camera out in time.
