Whale-watching!

 For Christmas, Jay and Kelley gave us a gift certificate to go on a whale-watching lunch cruise. We went this past weekend and had a great time...thank you Grandpa and Grandma! It was sunny, a little hazy from the lingering smoke (from wildfires up in Canada) but not too hot and not too cold. We saw a humpback whale (ZigZag) and her calf, some sea lions, and a few harbor seals. Lunch was lasagna and Caesar salad (which is Annaliese's favorite type of salad) along with rolls and chocolate chip cookies. We left Fairhaven at about 11:00 and cruised out among the San Juan Islands, returning back at 5:00pm. It is so incredible how many islands there are!

This is Spieden Island. They used to hunt exotic animals here!

Lovely view of Mt. Baker!

Apparently, everyone else was content to be inside...this was coming back into Fairhaven at the end of the day.
