Matt's Corner

March 24th

84/365:
We were on quite the party train this week… :)
& today was our belated birthday surprise in honor of my parents—seeing as both their birthdays came round earlier this March…



All aboard… for a whale watching extravaganza in San Diego…




The dark clouds that had covered the San Diego skyline that morning were now long-gone… swapped out for a brilliant, sunshiny day :)



Does it get any better than sitting aboard... gulping down the fresh sea breezes and sipping on a cup of piping hot coffee?






Not more than five minutes out, we oohhed and aahhed over the playful antics and fantastic acrobatics of nearby spinner dolphins…



Here she is, rockin her first boat ride…


Luving the sunshine on our skin...



Searching the waters for glimpses of those uninhibited, free whales swaying round out in the wild…
Chugging out farther still, till the choppy sea was reduced to glass…


Spotted… :)







♥ my little sister as a mom; she does the mommy thing quite well... & with her whole heart... 



As our tour ended and the ship parked itself back at the marina, the day had turned considerably cooler and we were hungry for dinner.



Matt was in charge of picking our birthday dinner eatery…
&, seeing as my dad luvs a good BBQ, Matt opted to try out a new BBQ restaurant in SD…
It’s a good thing we were hungry & eager for a plateful of warm food to put in our bellies…
because…
this evenings BBQ was, indisputably, the worst BBQ I have ever eaten… 


Oh, we did eat it…


& then, supportively smiled & ate some more…
because we knew Matt was only trying to be thoughtful…
& we didn’t want him to feel too bad…
but halfway into the meal, he said it best himself…
“worst BBQ ever”
one for the "it's the thought that counts..."
