Nate's 20th Birthday

Happy 20th Birthday Nate!

Nate, his friend Jacob and I met Stacey and Jason at their house so we could all ride together. The boys looked so cute all squished together in the front row I had to take a picture!

Ethan loves his chocolate

Back to Cali....

This time I visited a few different places than in January.

I went to Newport Beach and Balboa Park.

yummm

I was also able to do some Whale watching in Dana Point!

This is the entrance into Dana Point:

Before getting on the boat Ie grabbed lunch on the beach. It was so beautiful!

 

 

This is a picture of the boat that I took out to look for whales

Leaving the dock

There were people every where doing this

This is a Minke Whale that I saw, they disappear so fast so it's not a good picture

This is a picture I got from online of what a Minke Whale would look like

Catalina Island

Although I didn't see any other whales than that one Minke Whale, it was still so much fun. And I saw a ton of common dolphins

Off to Laguna Beach!

Lunch!

Fun drinks!

 

On my way back to the hotel I saw this mosaic wall. I thought it was really pretty!

This is a seat at a bus stop

I thought this was neat-it's a painted house
