Out here on the coast, the last week of December is "Whale Watch Week."  The first half of the week was stormy, but by the end of the week, it was clear and beautiful.  So I asked my friend to show us where the "locals" go to look for whales.  She took us about 10 miles north of here to whale watch at Rocky Creek.  It was AWESOME!!!  We saw at least a dozen whales swim by.  Just standing there, we could very clearly see their spouts of water and with binoculars, I even saw a few backs and tails.  They are so beautiful and amazing.

Rocky Creek.  Word is, in the summer this is where the "resident whales" hang out to feed and play.  You'd better believe I'll be checking up on that :)
