Whale Watching

We had the opportunity last weekend to go whale watching. It was absolutely amazing! I was so nervous about getting motion sickness but it was so great!! The ride was smooth and it was just gorgeous. I have never been that far out in the ocean. Heck, I've never been in the ocean at all. The best I've done is stick my toes in the tide on the beach. :D

We saw humpback whales and Atlantic white sided dolphins. There were about four whales and about 200 dolphins that circled the boat. One of the whales was a baby and came right next to the boat. He thought it was his toy! There was also a baby and Mommy dolphin that swam together the whole time. Emma was of course, fascinated! She loves the babies. Miguel like to see the whales' tails but mostly like to run around the boat and look over the edge at the waves.

If you ever have the chance to go whale watching, definitely take it!
