A few weeks ago, Chelsea and I went on a whale watching tour. We left Boston on a Boston Harbor Cruise catamaran and
got to our destination, Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, in about an hour and a half. It was cold and super
windy, but oh, so worth it! I had seen whales before, but never in their own
habitat. It's something magical to see them in the wild, swimming around, as if
no one was watching. We got lucky and our group spotted 8
whales in total! We spent a lot of time with a whale calf that wasn’t a tiny
bit shy and would jump and dive, and showoff as if she knew she was the
star of the show. Then, on our way back to the city, two whales were swimming
and jumping alongside the boat. It was incredibly beautiful! Here are a few pictures, from me and Chelsea.

I haven't been on a whale watch since I was a kid; I think it's high time for me to do it again!
