T-N-T Boating

For Christmas,
Todd bought me a Whale Watching trip in San Diego
It was a day at Sea (8 hours)

Super fun.
Super beautiful
and 
Flibbiditygibbits COLD

We each wore 2 Jackets and a big thick blanket to stay warm.

It was worth it though.

The Gray whales are currently migrating.

We saw 24!
They were playing,
spouting,
and even a couple COURTING!
Super amazing!

We arrived in SD a little after 7am, 
just as the sun was beginning to crescent the Earth...

Just a few pics.
Todd has some cool ones, maybe he will add them later.


 Our first Ocean Greeters.
I am in LOVE with these common dolphins!
(Common my BUTT!)


We started spotting whales right away!
Woo hoo!



Whale foot print.
the dark glassy impression that is left behind after a whale breaches the surface, then submerges, 
you click your camera - and yah this is what you get...

our boat ride took us down south to Mexican waters.
over to the shores of the uninhabited
Coronado Islands.
Well, they are uninhabited by people,
but there are lots of other creatures living there.
Namely birds and seals.

These are out of order,
just know that...





Hi!





 whales
Gray Whales, kind of look like decaying rocks peaking up from the Sea.
Or maybe rock monsters.




 Brown footed Boobie bird, flying to the rocks.
They are only found on these small islands.






Elephant seals use the dreamy enclave for breeding.
Tucked away from the world



The elusive whale tale pic.





As we headed back, the sun said Adieu..

Ok.  If you didn't get photo overloaded here is a poor quality video.

ok one more
