dad's visit : catalina island


the second day my dad was here we drove to newport beach and took the catalina flyer to catalina island. the boat ride is about an hour, and we mainly rested on the way there and back. once on the island we walked around and had a really delicious lunch of fried calamari, blackened ahi tuna and dungeness crab cakes. there was barely a spot to sit down on the beach. the beaches are very small and there are lots of people, but we finally found a little spot and got to enjoy the beach and water. it was actually quite hot out, so the water felt really nice. then we had a pile of carne asada nachos with beer and margaritas as a snack before heading back to the main land. on the drive home my dad called my mom to tell her about our day and explained that we saw three very large fish out in the ocean that had these huge blow holes ... my mom yelled so bad on the phone "y'all saw WHALES!!?" my mom wants to see whales so badly ... so we are already planning a spring trip when the grey whales make their journey back to alaska. [ note: i know whales are mammals and not fish ... i know my little friend addison would correct me on this. ]
