out of town guests

Immediately after our September wedding, my Uncle Jim and Aunt Maureen came out to go on a week's vacation with my parents. A few days before they left with my parents for their trip, we got to spend some time together. My parents and I took them to Balboa Island. We went for breakfast at one of my favorite places on the Island, Wilma's Patio. After we walked around the Island, we headed over to the peninsula via the ferry boat. From there we walked over to Balboa Pier. The water was especially clear and teal-colored that day. We couldn't have timed it better, because we got to see a baby whale. It was awesome, and what a treat for our out of town guests. Later that same evening, the entire family went to Bluewater Grill for some delicious seafood (another favorite eatery) and for those of you goofs out there, NO we didn't' eat the whale! Here's some highlights from our day at Balboa.
