But as with all things time and circumstance change us. I have out grown the mommy blog. My kids are teenagers and with that comes a whole new life and outlook. So I am re branding myself and starting a new blog. I invite all my followers and new and old to come check out For Life After. This is my new blog where I will be redefining myself For Life After. Life After kids, life after the death of a parent, life after 40 (and soon 50). Life is all about change and I have decided to embrace it all.
Thank you to all of you who have made this an amazing experience.

Whale watching season began December 26, 2014. This is perfect activity for gathering up with friends and family and catch a glimpse of nature, up close and personal! Island Packers, Ventura County’s official concessionaire to the Channel Islands National Park, is now offering half-day whale watching excursions to view these magnificent mammals. Visit our website for current marine mammal sightings recorded daily from our boat captains.

About Pacific Gray Whales
Every year, an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 Pacific Gray Whales migrate through the Santa Barbara Channel on their way to and from the warm lagoons of Baja California, Mexico. Typically the pregnant females are the first to leave the feeding grounds in Alaska and head south, needing to get to the lagoons to birth their calves. Following them are the mature adults, sometimes displaying mating behavior as they migrate through the Channel. The last to leave the productive waters of Alaska are the jueveniles, who are more interested in feeding than anything else. They are sometimes more playful than the adults, breaching and spy hopping for lucky whale watchers.
