Dolphins

So we went to the beach the other day with some friends from work. We went to a beach Lane and I had never been to before up the coast right off the highway. It was so nice and quiet and not crowded at all! And the weather for once was beautiful! We saw a bunch of dolphins swimming along. I got a couple pictures, not the greatest, hard to take pictures with the sun shinning in my eyes!! But you can definately see them sticking out of the water. It was just so awesome. I love dolphins- it all goes back to when I went to Mexico with Lane and his family before we got married. We woke up one morning and there was a bunch of dolphins jumping out of the water. So we decided to get his aunts canoe and see how close we could get to them. The water doesn't get deep for a long ways, our paddles could still touch the bottom. But we got right out there by them and they swam along beside the canoe and jumped out right beside us. It was a bit nerve racking at first because that was my first time seeing the ocean but at the same time how many people can say they have done the same thing. It was just the coolest thing I have ever done and I will never forget that. But ever since then I have had this thing for dolphins!! So seeing a bunch in Cali made my day!



Last weekend Lane and I went to this Danish town called Solvang. The cutest little town but for some odd reason is totally overun by chinease people- go figure. But anyways, we went their when his parents came out to visit but we only walked half the town and there were so many stores and things to see so we decided to go back and check out the rest of the town. Lots of cool shops- candle shops, an awesome Christmas store which is my favorite store out of the whole town, clothing stores, koo-koo clock store and lots of others, and they have so many bakeries and goodie shops. Everytime someone walked by with food it would make you so hungry and everything looked so yummy!! Anyways on to my point...We found the coolest bench carved as dolphins. I thought it was so cool. Someday I will have a beach house and get this bench to put on my porch!! :)
