My wonderful friend Mary came to visit me in Boston! She came out with her friend's Casey and Josh. It was too bad that they came during the hottest few days we've had so far this summer.
Mary and I are both turning 25 in September and she made herself a bucket list for before she turned 25. One of the things on the list - see a whale! And see whales we did!
We're schwimming out to schee! (Nemo? Anyone?)
Preparing to make a check on her bucket list!
Gotta keep your eyes peeled! We were looking for giant sprays in the water from the blow holes.
There's a whale!! And it's tail!!! (Photos courtesy of Mary. I wasn't quick enough to catch any)
Behold - people who have seen whales!
We also saw a mama whale and it's calf. The mama, Tulip, was apparently looking thin even though there was a lot of food in the area, so there is some concern for her. The whale watching boats report back when they see certain things like that, to help keep track of whales that might be in trouble.
Heading back into Beantown...
After our whaling adventure, we took a little trip into the aquarium. Penguins!!! Penguins everywhere! I didn't get any good shots of the seal show, but if you ever go to the New England Aquarium, I highly suggest it!
Hey look I found Nemo!!!
And Dory!!
... and even Willem Dafoe!
We ended our trip to the aquarium with a nice visit with Myrtle the Turtle :-)
