Quick trip to San Fran wouldn't be complete without a trip to view the Golden Gate. The day before I had sent an article to Nick about the views, and how whales were recently spotted traveling right under the bridge. Since reading that article, we'd put the bridge on the must-see list and figured a trip to the city wouldn't be complete otherwise.
Right before dinner, Nick and I (and the dogs!) stopped to watch the sunset. For the majority of the time the bridge was completely covered in fog. To be honest, I was fine with that because it looked beautiful! Right before we were going to call it, Nick yells to me, "Sarah! There are your whales!" A half dozen people snapped to look at Nick. I couldn't help my reaction of "NO WAY!" After all, I hadn't even considered looking for them. They had been spotted DAYS prior. I didn't think for a second that we could be that lucky. Yet, there they were: two beautiful humpback whales, hanging right under the bridge. My lens had a hard time fighting through the fog, but it was such a beautiful reminder that you should never just expect those things to be left for the articles. Always expect that impossible can happen to you too.
