What an unforgettable experience! 🌊🐋

Our Osher Lifelong Learning members had the incredible privilege of attending a whale watching tour accompanied by expert Bonnie Wiengarth. From breathtaking ocean views to the awe-inspiring sight of these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, it was truly a day to remember.

Moments like these remind us that learning never stops—and sometimes, it comes with a splash of adventure! 💙



We’re truly grateful to Bonnie Weingarth—not just for this incredible experience, but for the beautiful photos and video as well. You captured every moment so perfectly—thank you! ☺️
