Whales & Dolphins & Seals...Oh, MY!!!

On Sunday we went on a whale and dolphin watching cruise at Newport Beach with my cousin Gwen and her family and my cousin Mari. We had a great time and the weather was absolutely perfect. We saw some sea lions, two whales, literally hundreds of dolphins and seals. The captain said there was over 5,000 dolphins in the pod. Everywhere we looked we could see dolphins. It was amazing! Afterwards, we met my cousins Paul & Mike and part of their families at Vince's Spaghetti House for dinner. There were 25 of us there. I'm sure our Grandpa DiGiacomo was smiling down on us! It was great to see everyone and we look forward to spending more time with them while we are in California.

Two whales "snorkeling". They
never really jumped out of the water,
they would just skim the surface for
air and then dive back down under
the water.
