I've been MIA recently because Danny and I went on a little Spring Break excursion to the land of California. We went with my sister Michele and her husband Dan and had a blast. Since pictures are worth a thousand words and there are a lot of pictures, that makes this one wordy post, meaning I don't need to say much more. Enjoy!
Whale Watching and Other Sea Creatures
|
A little stingray going about his stingray business. |
|
Our boat for the mighty voyage. |
|
Michele gazing off into the distance. |
|
Dan and Michele rocking the boat. Ok, not really. |
|
Me and the husband on a three hour tour... |
|
A dolphin and the dolphin whisperer. |
|
The dolphins swam right next to our boat! This was my favorite part of the
whole whale watching tour we went on. |
|
Sisters! |
|
It is kind of hard to see, but that is a gray whale in the ocean. Whales
are a little camera shy. |
|
Sea lions living the life of sea lion luxury. |
|
My picturesque picture. |
On the Pier and Boardwalk
|
Nothing like clam chowder for lunch while overlooking the harbor. |
|
The pier and the ocean!! |
|
I'm a desert girl so the ocean is an exciting sight for me. |
|
Palm Trees!! Another exciting sight for me. |
|
And another picture of the surf, because I just couldn't
get enough. |
|
Hanging out on the boardwalk. |
|
We rented a surrey, such a funny contraption. |
|
Just pedalin' in our surrey because we're cool like that. |
Knott's Berry Farm
|
Danny and Michele didn't want to go on this ride, which takes you up to
lofty heights and then drops you. For some reason I thought it would be
a good idea, so me and Dan went on it...I ended up screaming my guts out. |
|
Action shot, I believe we were looking at a death defying roller coaster.
We definitely got our fill of roller coasters that day. |
|
Danny and me taking a little break. |
|
Michele, ready to for the bumper car free-for-all. |
|
Dan coming after us. |
|
Bumper cars have never been my thing, so I hopped in with Danny and
he drove while I took pictures. |
|
Michele chasing down her husband. |
|
Meeting Snoopy, a dream fulfilled. |
|
Michele and Dan on the Ferris wheel. |
|
I thought the Snoopy boat was cute, so we got a
picture by it. |
Rain Forest Cafe
|
Dan and Michele among the fake jungle foliage. |
|
Danny and Me. It took us awhile to get our food, so
taking pictures is my favorite way to pass the time. |
|
Danny was happy because he finally got his steak and shrimp. |
Newport Beach
|
Oceanic foot shot |
|
Me and the sea. |
|
Me and my honey. |
|
Playing frisbee, so much fun. |
The End
Glad I'm not the only one who gets overly giddy about the ocean and palm trees. Must be a Utah girl thing.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting that you saw all those dolphins and whales too!
ReplyDeleteFun pictures. I especially like your foot shot. It looks like you had a great time. I used to love going to California and seeing the ocean with my family. There's something about the pull of the tide.
ReplyDeleteLove your trip pictures!!! Joseph served part of his mission in Newport Beach. Great beach shots. We just went to the beach here and it is cool how we both have similar shots with a long pier in the background!
