EIGHT WHALES in THREE DAYS!!!!

This entry is brought to you by Megan. I apologize in advance because it will not be as great as Abs entries. Ok, here we go....Monday started off with a fabulous bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats and 2% milk (I like skim but beggars can't be choosers). Anyway, Ab and I got dressed and headed to Blue Lake for a wonderful morning hike. The weather was beautiful....blue sky and sunny.  The trail leads you to two different lakes that were covered in about 3 feet or more of snow.  It was great!  We hiked for about an hour and a half and made our way back to the car.  Then since we were out on that side of town we went to the chocolate factory for the second time!  On our way back from there we spotted a WHALE!  Of course, we both just about jumped out of our skins and pulled out the camera.  We got out of the car and realize the whale dispapeared and of course I had the brilliant idea to run along the street while Abby drove like Cruella Deville to catch up with it. If this doesn't describe our excitement I don't know what will. We finally saw the error of our ways and got into the car together and drove to Whale Park. where we had to plow ourselves thourgh SO MUCH snow in order to make it to even see the whale. We finally make it to see the whale and then it dove deep. We stayed in our same spots for about 30-45 min and didn't see our whale friend again. Ab and I finally end up leaving and on our way back to the van (which by the way has more smells than anyone would know what to do with) we see yet another whale. After whale watching we make our way into town for some lunch at a little Italian resturant named Roma's. Roma's had the greatest service and when I say greatest I really mean hilarious. We had two different servers one woman who was the loudest person ever and then another woman that was so soft-spoken/hard of hearing. Who knows the one who was hard of hearing could probably thank the other lady that yelled instead of talked. It was a great experience. After lunch, Ab and I went shopping for the fam. I think we hit every shop in Sitka that sold something.....if that doesn't give you some perspective. When we were finished shopping we headed to what's known as Sandy Beach or what I like to call Rocky Beach because I saw no sand. We made our way down to the "beach" and took a million and one pictures of course of ourselves jumping off a huge rock. This was the best Monday I have ever had. Not only to spend it in a beautiful state but to share it with by best bud.....nothing could be better! Thanks for letting me share our Monday with you. This is Megan signing off.
