Dolphin Adventure

Today's post is a bit late because we had a birthday party at our house today. Vannessa is turning 12 in a few days and John's misery will hit new heights in a year or so. Here is a picture of the birthday girl taken on our way from Georgia to Illinois.

I will be sure to drag this one out when she has a date.

Before we left Tybee Island we went on a boat ride with Captain Mike's Dolphin Adventures. We thought the girls would enjoy the boat ride and the chance to see some dolphins in the wild.

The company is owned by Captain Mike. Our boat was ably run by Captain Allen.




I took about 100 pictures of dolphins. These are the best of the 15 or so that turned out. Dolphins come to the surface briefly for a breath of air. You never know where they are going to come up or how quickly they will go back underwater. So you spend a lot of time snapping picture of water. Sometime you get just a slight glimpse of fin.

When you look at this group you know that the cost was worth every penny.

Today's bonus shot is a picture of the Tybee Island Lighthouse from out in the Atlantic Ocean. The large bird in the picture was just a fortunate accident. I didn't see it until I was reviewing the pictures at home.

If you ever go to Tybee Island spend the money and go on a dolphin tours.
