Dinah Turns 26!

Everyone thinks Dinah looks no older than 19, which is a great compliment to her, but we all know that as of Saturday she has entered her late-twenties. But she still looks 19 and acts like she's 10. Young at heart, young in mind, and always turning heads, Dinah celebrated her 26th birthday last Saturday. She was given the royal birthday treatment with a manicure/pedicure before her whale watching cruise and shopping spree. I think she enjoyed herself. But check the pictures out to decide for yourself. The highlight of the day was hearing her scream like a little girl with joy when she saw the tails of humpback whales gracefully breaching the ocean only 30 feet from the catamaran; she yelled "WOW! they're so big!" Turning another year older isn't that bad, at least it wasn't for Dinah.

Yeah we both ended up with sunburns; me on my face with racoon eyes, and Dinah with charred shoulders--it was embarrassing 'cause we felt like tourists the next day with all the Aloe and redness.

Bow of the catamaran, whale off the port side?

We cruised by the shark encounter boat to check out the sharks--there was over 30 easy. Look close, that's a shark's head trying to bite the fish in the guy's hand. Some of the sharks were over 10 feet long. They followed the catamaran too, that's how we got the pic below.
