A Pod of Orca's

So, how cool is this? We're on the boat, enjoying Bloody Mary's and breakfast with Santa Claus and musicians strolling around, when the caption announces, "It seems like we have a pod of 6-8 orcas swimming around the boat." So we all go running up to the deck and lo and behold, big freaking whales with super giant dorsal fins! They were huge with beautiful, shiny black skin, big white eyes, and enormous, sparkling teeth. They "played" with the boat for about 45 minutes until we had to head back to the dock. (Anthony thinks they liked the Christmas Music playing on the outdoor speakers!) It was AWESOME!! Right in the Puget Sound- diving and darting 40 feet away from our boat. Logan was in awe- kind of in disbelief- and Leah kept saying, "amazing, cool, wow." Me, being a dolphin lover, thought this was incredible. What a special way to remember our Santa Brunch Boat Ride!!!
