John and I have been planning our San Diego vacation for quite some time now. We were really excited to take the kids to Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Wildlife Safari Park. We planned the trip where we were going be gone on my birthday. I really wanted to go whale watching. I looked into it, and researched which place would give us the best deal for our money.
I found a place out of Newport Beach, CA called Davie’s Locker that charged a fair amount for our little excursion. The kids were able to go, and it was only $30.00 a person for a 2.5 hour tour.
I loved every minute of it! We saw a pod of dolphins, Fin Whales, and the largest mammal on earth, The Blue Whale! A blue whale has veins that are so large that a full grown adult can swim through them! Their heart is size of a small car! Their tails weigh as much as a full grown elephant! They measure over 30 meters long! These animals are BEASTS, and we saw 3 of them! A momma and her cub, and another adult that was swimming with them.
It was a neat experience!

It was such a great experience that I am thankful I was able to have and to give my children! Isabelle loves animals and since we have gotten him all she does is play with her whale and animal book. She points and shouts WHALE! MOMMA WHALE until I acknowledge the whale and ooooo and ahhhhhh over it! More pictures and stories to come!

How fun! I'm totally jealous. My kids would love that! I'd love to go on an Alaskan cruise just to see all the wildlife.
How's the packing going?
Looks like fun, I'm glad that you guys didn't get sea sick! Izzy is so cute and getting so big! Next summer we need to get together!!!
