DANA WHARF CATAMARAN

ADVENTURE CRUISES

 

 We had the fabulous opportunity to go whale watching with Dana Wharf Catamaran Adventure Cruises!

They offer a large variety of great experiences for families and some awesome learning oportunitities and programs for kids! Right up our alley! :)

They offer cruises, charters for parties or events (even for kids), fishing, sailing, and FREE FISHING CLINICS for kids and more! It's some serious learning fun!

We went Whale Watching! We LOVED it! It was absolutely amazing. The ride was so peaceful and beautiful. Zorro loved the boat but got scared when it went fast at first. Once we were out further and slowed down he loved it! We didn't happen to see any whales on this trip but the dolphins were so fun and playful! They were all around the boat and trying to swim faster than it. What a NEAT experience! We will DEFINITELY go again!

On the Bow. Zorro is in a carrier snuggling with me! You can say I was THRILLED!

SUPER FUN Dolphins! We were amazed and excited to see these cute things!

Date Night- Childhood

D & I hardly get time to really enjoy much time together. Even after Zorro is in bed, we both have a slew of things that still need to get done sans toddler. We've been really needing time to reconnect but dates are not really in the cards for us too often because have you heard how much preteens are making now a days for babysitting?!?!? SHEESH!
I try to beg bargain for free dates like...I'll wax your brows for free sitting!!! Or You watch mine, I'll watch yours! Sometimes it works... But SOMETIMES the heavens part and a totally awesome person will randomly call me and say HEY! I;ll watch Z for you this week so you can go on a date! OK that's RARE but it DOES happen. And it DID! This week!

I was shocked and thrilled and got to work right away planning a fun and DIFFERENT type of date for us. No movies and dinner which had become our standard. It's "fun" but it's kind of dry... We needed something new. Since Z would NOT be at our place for the evening we planned an evening in with a themed night to rock all nights! Our Theme:

CHILDHOOD

You might be wondering why the heck we chose that. Childhood doesn't really scream SEXY. But it does scream F-U-N! And that's what we had!

Here's what we did:

Everything was to remind us of childhood and even OUR childhood.

FOOD: 

We used only children's bowls, plates, utensils & cups

• Capbell's Chicken and Stars
• Chef Boyardee Mini Ravioli
• Dino Chix Nougats
• Tater tots
  
• Pizza Rolls
• Baby Carrots

• Chocolate Milk
  

• Hostess Cupcakes
• Hostess Chocodile
• Hostess  Twinkies
• Animal Crackers

ENTERTAINMENT

• Cartoons- Carebears
• Disney Movie- The Love Bug
• Games- Operation, Life, Yatzee, Chutes and Ladders (we played Yatzee the rest was for decor)
• Some Fave Childhood Books- I grabbed D's fave books since we had them already.
• MASH- That's right! We played Mash! HA! 

DECOR

If we had a larger buget I would have bought some vitage toys and put them around. But the decor was really just all the fun stuff!

PRESENTS

We had to each bring a present for eachother based on the theme and with a small budget.

My Present to D:

Vintage Lunch Box with vintage candies

D's Present to Me:

Rhinestone Hair Clips

(I couldn't get good pics with my cam phone)
