Day 3 ~



Today we were scheduled to go on a whale watch in the morning. When booking this, we talked about Doug writing us all a prescription for motion sickness and that is about as far as we got with that, just talked about it. that morning we talked about it again, but we figured we would be fine. Well as soon as the boat started, i could see on Doug's face that he wasn't liking it at all! Tyler had the look of fear on his face, Josh, Haden and I were fine. Well as soon as we stopped to see our first whale and we started snapping pictures, all of a sudden Doug was gone, i figured he found a better place to take pictures, so i dint think too much about it. Then a whale got too close to our boat and we had to turn off the engines and just float for a while until it was far enough away that we could start up again. Well the water was kind of choppy and we were moving quite a bit, then the lady on the intercom says, if anyone is feeling the effects of us drifting and isn't feeling too good, come down to the bottom deck and someone will help you, Tyler pops up and heads down, without saying a word to me, so of course i follow him, he isn't feeling good, we go down there and there is Josh, he says, i am not feeling too good. I ask Where's Dad? He says, "In the bathroom barfing" oh great! So i hang out with all the sick Os's and next thing i know Haden is joining us, he isn't too bad, but wants to be with the family, next thing you know, he isn't feeling too good either, so pretty much everyone but me is sick, and being around all those sick people plays tricks on your mind. But we managed to still see the whales, which was awesome. I was worried we wouldn't see any, since it was the second to last day of the whale watching season. This was a two hour trip, so poor Doug was pretty much sick the whole time, but he controlled it well, at least he wasn't puking off the side of the boat like some of them where!! After that we were all hungry and found a place called Cool Cats to eat at, they had the best burgers ever!! Everyone was feeling better after eating which was good, except for the fact we just dropped another $100 on lunch! I am starting to see a pattern here! We decided to head back to the condo and chill again by the beach, my favorite pass time!!

I'm glad you did see whales, we saw them on our alaskan cruise last year and they were awesome! Sorry everyone got sick though, I don't seasick, I'm lucky that way.

Lucky Janey,I was getting seasick just reading about it. If I would have been with you - I wouldn't have let Doug just talk about getting a perscription!
