Whale Watching







Magical!
Ever since we moved to the Bay Area we've been wanting to go on a whale watching tour. So we finally pencilled one in while Eric was visiting. The grey whales are migrating to Mexico to have their babies so this is the time to go see them. Inside the harbor we saw a lot of marine life; sea otters, seals, and some jellies. We were lucky enough to see a pod of Risso Dolphins that feed on the squid that live in the Monterrey Bay. The captain estimated there were 5-7 hundred in the group. We even saw some baby ones. It was so exciting. We had to go out of the bay just a smidge to see the whales that were migrating. We saw about 8-10 different spouts and two really good tail flukes. Lola loved the boat ride. There's a great picture of how high the waves were crashing on the shore from the wind that was blowing.
