I Grew Up 5 Miles from this Spot

I grew up only 5 miles from this spot but 2 weeks ago on a trip back to visit my parents was the first time that I was able to see something like this. Before I left Washington 7 years ago, a buddy and I would go to Boulevard Park in Bellingham for lunch and watch whales. We would often see them in August and September there in Bellingham Bay. Even then I couldn't imagine seeing one with Mt. Baker in the background. It was truly a remarkable moment. One that I will treasure always.

Hoorraaaay! Now that you are on blogger I can post about all your interesting trips! I love this picture of the whale I think you should submit it to an art show or something!
