Real Live Orcas!









Mel and I enjoyed a get-away in the San Juan Islands in June, and part of our get-away package was a whale-watching tour. We totally lucked out, because it was the best day of the year to that point for seeing the orcas. We saw them both from the beach and also from the boat on our tour. I know many of you have seen orcas at Sea World, but seeing them in the wild is a different experience. It was so exciting. My photography leaves a bit to be desired, but you get the idea. We just wish we had our whole family with us so they could experience it with us.

AMAZING!!! When you said you saw Orcas, I figured it was from way far, far away. But they are right there! What an awesome experience.

That must have been so fun. I remember seeing one on a ferry to the san juans once but it looks like you had a much better view.
