Whale watching

Brian came home a little early from work on Friday, so we headed right to the coast as usual. We love it there. Brian tried fishing off the rocks into the ocean with no luck - we need the right bait for that. Before we went home we were hanging out on this old WWII war bunker and just watching the ocean. Below this cliff is a little beach where sea lions and seals hang out, they don't do a whole lot, but they're cool to see. Anyway, right when I said "I want to see more animals in the ocean" I kid you not, we see the spray of a whale out in the distance. It was so cool, we were so excited. We found out from some locals that the grey whale is migrating to Alaska this month and we were lucky enough to see about 5 more spray offs. I tried to take some pics of it, but they are kind of hard to catch on camera. So I included some Wikapedia photos of the grey whale for you. The grey whale!

Hey Brian you know what makes great whale bait? - Babies
