Big Miracle

My lovely mother had a birthday this past week, so my brother and I took her to see Big Miracle. We also had a birthday breakfast party on her big day, as I had to go out of town for work and wouldn't be back in time for cake and dinner. (Which is a good thing, I'm down 18 pounds and don't want to blow it.) Big Miracle is the true story of 3 whales trapped up in Alaska. Not on the Pacific side, but around the top of Alaska. The movie did not disappoint. Super good and I highly recommend it.

One of Dan's work friends just returned from Maui. Right now is high whale season in Maui. Here is a link to the friend's whale video. The tour boats aren't allowed to go this close, but if the whales swim up to the boat, which they often do, they captain turns off the engine and waits for the whales to leave whenever they feel like it. So cool. Enjoy!
