Whalewatching

I was excited to go whale watching today. I had to drag Eric and Maya out of bed and push them into the car to get going, and we arrievd just in time to get on the boat and motor out to 'Stellwagon Gulch', out past the Cape where the whales hang out.

The humpback whales were amazing! I was in awe. They are huge and entertaining and just as impressive as they were off the coast of Ecuador. We saw a mother and her 'calf'. The calves do not have names until their second season but all the adults are identified by their unique markings on their tail flipper. We saw Cajun and Colt and Fan and Ursa. It was a full day and without a dull moment. We ate at Barnstable Marina for lunch and Eric and I shared a lobster roll (yum yum). Maya wanted a whole lobster, but it was too pricey, so we have to arrange to have lobster during our stay here! It is a tradition every summer on the Cape!

I received an email from Maya's dance instructor that she was invited to join the dance camp tomorrow. Of course we could not make it to Baltimore by tomorrow morning, so we are debating and trying to decide whether we stay two more days and enjoy Cape Cod, or drive down to Baltimore tomorrow to make it to dance camp for Tuesday. Decisions decisions.
