So today for the last time in a long time, Steve took me to the coast so I can have the sand between my toes (because he is a sweetheart like that). It was a fun filled day with squeaky sand, cooling winds, seashells and round rocks, crashing waves, salty air, noisy birds, romantic walks, childish games, tender love notes, and moments of absolute bliss. My heart was smiling and my soul was at peace.
After the beach and shopping at Lincoln City (found a great pair of board shorts for Steve... and I was reminded again why I don't like shopping for swimsuits) we headed down to Depot Bay which is the whale capitol of the world... or something like that. While we were enjoying the waves beat against the rocks and feeding the squirrelers, I looked up and saw the backside of a whale disappear under a wave! Can you believe it?!? I was so stoked! (You should hear the camera footage... I was screaming I was so excited!) Unfortunately I wasn't able to point it out to Steve in time. After another five minutes of looking, I started second guessing myself and decided that it must have been something else. It seemed to be too close to the rocks.
About 45 minutes later, Steve and I were enjoying a FABULOUS meal at Tidal Raves (highly recommended to anyone in the area... thank you Troy!). It was a beautiful moment when the clouds cleared up and revealed a glorious blue sky and golden sun! I hear Steve gasp and "There's a whale!" Sure enough... there was a whale as close as was the earlier one. We enjoyed watching the mist from the blow hole and the back rolling across the bay.
Then, Steve said the most amazing seven words... "Honey, I was wrong... You were right."
