San Diego: Day Three.

Day Three we went Whale Watching!

I had wanted to do this ever since my family took their once in a lifetime trip to Hawaii & left me home because I had a baby who was 2 weeks old. They went during "whale watching season", which is Dec, Jan & Feb. (i think)

That sounded so cool to me for some reason. So, we (well I) decided we were going to go! Because, gosh dangit, you just don't know when you'll ever be back again to do such things.

We walked down "the Big Bay" until it was time for our boat to leave.

Here are some things we saw:
a man playing a trumpet, collecting tips.


old war ships=cool.

seagulls perching where they please & posing for tourists like myself.


boarding our boat, "the marriot"




why do i look like this? i don't know. i think i was mainly concerned about how the stranger was taking the picture.



we set sail!


leaving san diego behind us..



andy liked all the war stuff he saw..


i don't understand where these dudes came from. they looked like they had just come straight from a little battle on the sea or something. pretty cool though.


the old historic lighthouse on point loma. we went here day 4.

are you wondering what this man is doing? so was were we.


out to sea. wow, huh?



i like this.


our boat, the tour guide & lots of old people who were on there with us.


this is what we saw for the majority of the time. we'd wait for a whales "blow" (that little puff that looks like smoke , means the whale came up to breathe) then we'd wait 3-5 minutes to see the tail , or the "fluke". andy and i laugh about the word "fluke". it's just a silly word. can't they call it something else? No, we never saw a whale "breech". (that means when they jump out of the water, showing their whole bodies.)

and there's tijuana, mexico in the background!


and about half way through our tour...andy got VERY sea sick.
it was so sad.

so i watched the whales "blow" and "fluke" all by myself, while andy fought the urge to vomit for about 2 hours.

do you see the "fluke?" look close now.

poor andy man.
we were both happy when the tour was finally over.


after this, we went to verizon and got new phones! yay! andrew finally has a phone now. he even has texting! do you know how nice it is to text your husband? seriously, it's great! he cancelled his phone not long after we got married to save money. i know in the olden days, everyone went without cell phones, and somehow we all survived just fine. i don't know how.

THEN we went to Hooters. It was my idea. I know, shame on me. But both of us had never been and I like to experience everything at least once in life, so we did! And we chose the best night of the year to go. (well best night for the men.) It was lingerie night! all the slutty girls were dressed in basically bras and underwear. lucky you, i didn't bring my camera, so no pics of that! haha.

Day 3 was pretty good . well for me. nevermind, Hooters made up for the andy having to endure the sea-sickness.

Poor Andy!! Did you guys just wear pants and a jacket when you were there? Or was it warm enough for shorts? We were thinking about the whale watching, but I don't think Kelt would like it as much as Anthony and I would. I am glad to see your pictures so I can pretend to be there too. lol
