We're back!

So we are back from our trip to Cali. Here are a few pictures from the trip. I'm still sorting through over 300, but these were some of the really good ones:


Us on Huntington Beach:

Before getting on the whale watching boat:



Looking out the patio of a store down in Laguna Beach:





Over at our friends' parents house:

Their dog Jedi.........he absolutely LOVES the water!



Darrin and Jedi:


This was dinner Friday night at Lucille's BBQ. Some really good BBQ!


This was at the Aquarium of the Pacific. You can purchase this bird nectar, take it into the bird area and these birds just flock to your arms, shoulders, chest....whatever they can land on!






Darrin had quite a few friends!


These were a couple of seals that would not stop barking!




The beautiful clown fish tank:






And the best of them all....the whale watching video:




We were literally feet away from the whale. We followed it for about an hour as it in and out of the water to eat. We even got to see it's poop, which I guess is rare on the tours! We also saw a school of dolphins and a seal. We also did some some shopping at the SawDust Festival (arts and crafts) and some shopping at Tall Mouse where I picked up the Studio G series 16 stamps! :) I'll have some more pics to post this weekend.

Wow, not everyone gets to see a whale. I live in Ca and have gone out 3 times and only seen dolphin.

Hey you missed the big sale of 40% off at Tall Mouse this weekend. Did you leave anything for me?
