Whale Watching

We went whale watching today. 
There were dolphins racing our boat.  It's was cool.
 When you see a group of seagulls, there's usually dolphins and sea lions feeding as well. We did see dolphins and seal lions  popping up to check us out.
  We saw a two gray whales. A mama and a baby one migrating from Mexico to Alaska.
See that flat spot? That's a whale "footprint".  The mama whale dove down from that spot.
I kept myself busy on the boat by walking around and reading books.
I was also balancing as the boat went through choppy waves.  It's like riding a roller coaster.  Woo-hoo!!
It was really cold out there.  None of us got sea sick, but there were a few people barfing in the back. I hope they felt better when we got off.
