Spring Brrreak

Spring Break for many people is a time to relax and get away for a while. However a relaxing vacation isn't always the best thing. After being with my mom for 5 days in California I began to wonder if Spring Break is really all that it is hyped up to be. By the fifth day I was ready to hurt someone. I love my mom but sometimes she doesn't stop talking and it tends to get annoying. She also has a different idea of relaxing and sleeping in. For her, nine o'clock is late; for me... i just like to sleep. With absolutely no alone time I was starting to regret making the trip. The weather in Santa Barbra was not what we preferred but at least it wasn’t snowing. With wind whipping sand around there wasn’t much time for walking on the beach, and Whale watching was an adventure in itself. Our first day out it was windy but we managed to spot a few sea lions and some birds, nothing you can't see in the harbor. Our second trip out was in the rain, without the wind it was a lot easier to see the whales spout. On this ocean voyage we also encounter a few porpoises that danced around the bow of the boat for a while, but soon lost interest. Leaving the harbor we spotted two dolphins but they were not in a friendly mood so we moved on. It was on the way back to the harbor that we saw two gray whales. We watched them for a while and then after a double tail fluke headed back. Leaving the wind and rain behind us, we landed in Denver only to find snow on the ground. The snow is great for snowboarding but you can’t do that everyday. I’m not saying this Spring Break has been bad, I’m simply saying the weather hasn’t been the most SPRING like weather.
