Dolphins and Whales

Today we went to Dana Point on a whale watching tour.  We saw dolphins, blue whales, and a sea lion.  It was a lot of fun.
The dolphins completely surrounded our boat.  We have seen dolphins in Florida before but never this many at one time.  They were beautiful! 
They were swimming right along with us, jumping and playing.
We saw a blue whale several times.  They said that it is so big that it's tongue is the size of an African elephant and a child the size of Jack could swim through the main artery going to its heart and never touch the sides.  WOW!  We only saw part of it when it would come up for air because it was feeding on the kreel.
Jack and Paw-Paw relaxing.
Fun in the pool... also VERY cold!
