Dolphin Mania

A few months ago I bought half priced whale watching tickets (Groupon.com- sign up today!).
Last weekend we finally used them!
I surprised Shane, because surprises are always more fun.
He hadn't ever been out on the open sea (before Guam this summer), and he's a nature boy.
He was stoked. We cruised out of beautiful Dana Point...


Though we didn't see any whales, within the first ten minutes, Shane spotted a SHARK! Yep, a 5 foot black shark just creeping alongside the boat. Pretty cool.
Then about 15 minutes later we landed right smack in the middle of a HUGE pod of dolphins. I mean HUGE. There were thousands of them churning the water.
The captain told us they love getting a ride from the boat current, which gave us a super close look!
We had never seen anything like it, and it was pretty amazing.


We saw 2 more pods of different types of dolphins while watching the sunset.
It was so beautiful and the perfect way to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon with your main squeeze.


This video will show you how crazy awesome that HUGE, wild pod of dolphins really was!
Check it out, especially if you have Bieber Fever.
