We went whale watching on the north coast, in the same city that we went to a phallic museum. Yes, a phallic museum-they had hundreds of specimens....

Have you ever seen a hump back whale?
Have you ever imagined having one that was only like five inches long?
We have been wishing that we had a miniature hump back whale ever since, can you imagine?
It would still move the same, and still have a blowhole, and that tail would be so adorable.
David makes a good little sound effect for the miniature whale, if you ask i am sure he would do it for you.
When we were getting on the boat david was so excited, and i had to explain to him that just because we bought a ticket to go "whale watching" doesn't mean we will actually see a whale. In fact, we would probably only see a dolphin and a puffin or two. David's face dropped, and he was quiet for a while. Then of course i was totally wrong, two humpback whales circled our boat for about an hour, i am just a realist in a neon orange lab coat.
As much as i would like a miniature, i really loved the giant whale. They came close enough to let us see their faces, and they felt so wise and trusting.
