This past weekend we went to Cabrillo National Monument (click on link to learn all about it!). It was a Saturday full of fun as a family! We were lucky that our first visit was during the whale festival. Gray whale migration to Mexico is happening right now and they migrate right past the coasts of San Diego often close by as they feed on the kelp beds. Spotters located one while we were viewing, but we needed binoculars because of the whale's location. Although we didn't see it we had a great time being a part of the action! We also got to visit with several vendors learning all about whales. We enjoyed some hiking with spectacular views, got to see one of the few West coast lighthouses and explored the tide pools for all kinds of species. There is so much to do in the San Diego area, but if you ever visit please do make time for this experience!
