HUMPBACK WHALES!!

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Did you realize that it’s possible to fly to Boston, go to the New England Aquarium in the morning, take an afternoon whale watch cruise and fly back home by 10pm all for about $160 bucks?  Anyway, I spent 2 days in Boston looking at the Humpback Whales. The final trip on the 27th was amazing…check out the photos to see what I mean.  Click on any of the images below to see the entire 2 day’s worth of photos Gallery
