I’m writing this on Valentines Day as I wanted to get everything we did yesterday all in to one whole post I hope you like it. I’ll do the same with today’s post and post it tomorrow probably :-)
So for our Valentines Day we decided to have it the day before since I’m going to be working on V-Day. It was a very special day. This was the first time Julia would be seeing whales in person. She told me that when she saw the whales she almost cried. So cute ya?!
There were lots of old people there on our deck but that’s to be expected on a vacation tour thing.
Julia had a Mai Tai and she liked it. I had a drink called a Chi Chi which is basically a Pina Colada with vodka instead of rum. I forgot to take a picture since I drank it kinda fast LOL.
Lunch was actually really good. Since it was a buffet, I thought it wouldn’t be that good, but surprisingly it was!
As we were enjoying the food, they had already started to see whales outside it was rather exciting for all the people watching, BUT WE WERE STILL EATING! lol We weren’t really that far off shore.
We finally got outside and we saw the Star of Honolulu LOL. They be trolling our tails for the bounty!!
Their photographer had a much better lens than I brought a board (100-400mm Canon L) So I’m sure he caught much better shots than me. Here are my attempts at getting the shot.
Here we see a baby calf breaching. Not something you see every time on whale tour.
The baby seemed to be very happy to be alive it seems :-)
Then we were almost boarded by Somalian pirates LOL J/K just a fishing boat. It was kind of messed up though they went straight through our viewing of the whales. Like literally right at them. I was thinking “WTF YO! YOU GOING HIT THEM A$$HOLES!” I guess they were ok though :)
Here is one of the ballasts that the Navatek uses.
If you are unfamiliar with the Navatek technology behind their ship, you should look it up. It’s actually pretty interesting.
MAMA WAS HUGE!! That’s just her back lol
Oh we got to see a little sea turtle pop it’s head out of the water that was pretty cool.
LoL sometimes I realize… I’m not as good a photographer as I’d like to be outside in the daylight LOL
Old lady getting in my shot wtf?
I want to own a boat for this purpose seriously
My baby looking beautiful and enjoying the ocean.
Yay! I got some light on her face lol
This was just fucking hilarious when I saw it. WTH KEEP CLOSED! It really means “water tight hatch,” but seriously “what the hell” just seems funnier.
Later on that night we went to California Pizza Kitchen. Tried out their new “Small Cravings” Menu. On the left a spicy quesadilla and on the right a Korean BBQ Steak soft taco. Weird but tasty. I didn’t take a picture of our actual meal though. I had the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Pizza and she had the Thai Salad.
Later on went walking around Ala Moana and she was just loving all the plants in an empty mall. She loved it.
After we went to Wal Mart to look for a few things we needed and I found a big blast from the past! You remember this shit!? Fruit Stripe Gum!! Says it has a longer lasting flavor. Yeah I noticed it lasted about maybe five minutes longer. HAHA Not a huge improvement I’d say.
Anyways, it was a great day and I was very happy to have spent my whole day with my lovely. Next up Valentines Day post!
