Last weekend the BF and I went whale watching in Newport Beach. It was the perfect weekend-morning date after a long, hectic work week. You kick back on the deck with a beer and stare out at the gorgeous coastline (read: gorgeous beach houses on the Newport coastline) with no cell or 3G signal to distract you. (Although I still attempted to tweet)
I was a little disappointed that we did not see any whales even though it was prime grey whale migration season but we did see 6 different types of dolphins and some lazy sea lions.
My favorite part, though, was staring at the coastline. There was something peaceful about swaying on the water, being on the outside looking in. Aside from gorgeous houses and architecture, it was amazing to just take a timeout and think about what a great city I live in. Where else can you see surfers on the beach in the foreground and snow-capped mountains in the back?
