Visits come to a close...

After a week with my parents they had to go home today. :( It was so good to see them since it had been so long. We had so much fun while they were here though, Fishing trips, seaworld, shopping, dinners. It was just great! For our last Hoorah before they left my parents took us out on a deep sea fishing trip in Dana Point. It was so great! (well besides me getting sea sick) It was a crazy rush to get there in the morning though, the boat was to leave at 10 am and we were coming from Oceanside which is about 30 or 40 miles from there. It was no problem for us to get there but we were concerned that Jared wasn't going to make it because he had to rush to the dentist to get a gold crown put on his tooth. So my parents and I left and he was going to meet us there. The drive was beautiful and everything was going smoothly.

We got to the Dana Point Harbor Drive intersection and we were waiting to turn into the harbor and then all of the sudden the guy behind us thought that the light had turned green and he rear ended my parents PT Cruiser. I was so ticked off, I was cussing him like crazy! Well my dad was really scared to get out of the car because that intersection is so busy to he motioned for the guy to follow us into the parking lot. Well the guys didn't understand and kept honking at us like we were trying to run. We had to stop at another red light and he jumped out of his car and pulled his license plate off of our car and then got back into his car and left. He didn't care to see if we were ok or say sorry. Well since we didn't have time to mess with the situation we just let it be and rushed to our boat. Well needless to say even though it was just a small accident it jarred my back enough to make it painful for the rest of the day and today it is hurting to much! We made it on time though and just prayed that Jared would be able to make it since the ticket was non-refundable and they were a pretty penny.

We started to load and we even talked to the captain and asked him to wait. They were so nice and said that wouldn't be a problem so we went and got our bait and then went back to the dock to pick Jared up. Some of the other passengers that apparently go out on these trips all the time said that in all the years that they have been doing this they have never gone back to get anyone ever! Jared felt pretty special :) On our ride out to the designated spot there were dolphins playing in our wake it was so neat and toward the end of the trip we saw a couple of whales. When we were allowed to drop our lines Jared was quick to catch a fish, in fact he was the first person. He caught a poisionous California Scorpion Fish. It was ugly :)

After getting sick and taking a mini nap in the gully, the trip was coming to a close. 5 hours into fishing and only around maybe 20 fish later we headed back into the harbor. Thank mom and dad for taking us, that was amazing! We took my parents out to dinner to Outback steakhouse to celebrate my birthday and their last day here. It was a good meal follow by the sadness of them packing up and getting to leave. I love you guys and thanks for coming to visit!
