Sunny Sunday Morning

Bill arrived home yesterday from a 2 week trip to Cambodia.  We woke up to a gorgeous sunny day and headed out to Sunshine Cove.  It was such a pretty drive out the road this morning... Blue sky, sun glinting on the water...


We spent a lot of time this visit climbing around the tide pools...  With the camera and girls it was a little tricky, but totally worth the effort!  We saw hermit crabs...
and sea urchins...

and an otter...


As we were driving away, i looked out over the cove and saw sea spray in the air...  It was our first whale sighting!  We quickly pulled over and hauled M+M out of the car to watch for it again.  You can't see it very well in the picture, but if you look in the center of the picture above the spit, you can see the whale tail.


We made 2 stops on the way home: The first was lunch at McDonald's for M+M, the second was at Nugget Alaska Outfitters to buy me a bear bell.  While Bill and the girls nap, i'm off to Perseverance Trail!
