Happy Valentine's Day!

Even though my valentine (pictured above) forgot to shave, he did remember to plan a great Valentine's outing for us. We went Whale watching off the coast of San Diego. Whale watching season is Jan-March so it seemed like the perfect weekend to go, right in the middle of the season. The pacific grey whale migrates from the north pacific down to Cabo to breed and give birth in the winter. So early in the season you see whales traveling south towards Mexico and later in the season you see whales moving north back home. We hit the unlucky day where all the whales were already there but not yet traveling back so....not much whale watching for us.


we wanted to see this (stolen off of a whale watching website)

but instead saw this!!

all joking aside I really love the ocean! The swells were pretty big and it made for a really fun ride.

actually we did see one juvenile whale , too young to reproduce and not traveling all the way to cabo.
we also saw a super pod of dolphins....100's of them swimming and playing all around our boat! it was very neat.

our version of a SF pier.


next time we go out we want to try a smaller sail boat like one of these.

this one is called stars and stripes and won the america's cup a few years ago.


we had a lovely day on the water! San Diego skyline behind us. Dave decided to leave his coat in the car and that was a big mistake. IT was a beautiful day but windy on the boat and in the 50's so dave was freezing, espeically on the way back as the sun was setting!

I love San Diego.
I love Dave too!
