It’s better when you can hear me sing that! Yesterday one of the things we did was go on a whale watching tour. An Opstad parent that I ran into here (really, what are the odds?) recommended a boat company, and it didn’t disappoint. We were on a catamaran with an awesome crew. There were seats along the sides of the boat, but there were these two “trampolines” between the two keels that you could sit on. They said “trampoline” and I was thinking we’d bounce right off, but it was so fun! Plus we had the best seats in the house. :)
The whales are on their way north now, so there weren’t as many as there would have been a month ago, but it was pretty awesome to us!! I think we saw about six whales, and they put on quite a show. We saw a full breach out of the water, amazing tail shots and great side slaps with their flippers. The sun was SO bright that we couldn’t really see what we were doing with the camera, so we only got this one lone picture. But the experience was worth everything!!!
We got back to the room, and were discussing where to go to dinner, when the phone rang. Mom picked it up, and the side of the conversation that I head went like this: “What? Are you kidding? What government?” We had planned on going to Haleakala on Saturday to ride bikes, but with the threat of government shut down, they rescheduled us to Friday. So we threw some clothes on, went to Lahaina for dinner, and then went to bed by 7:30 so we could get up at 2:30 AM!!!!!!
