Whale Watching

I took a couple of days off from work so that Husband and I could have a four day weekend together before he started his internship for his MBA program.  It also meant that we'd have two long weekends in a row.  Saturday we headed off to go whale watching in the Bay of Fundy.  We left with the parents bright and early to catch a ferry out to the island of Grand Manan to then catch the whale watching boat.

Our Whale Watching Boat
We saw porpoises, dolphins, seals, fin back whales and a couple of really cool sunfish.  The photos from such trips never convey the experience of actually being there.  The highlight was definitely the 20-30 minutes of dolphins play in the wake of the boat.  It was a gorgeous sunny day.  People always bring layers when heading out into the Bay of Fundy.  Most of us overheated a tiny bit!

I've always found whale watching to be a spiritual experience. Lucky you for getting to see so many ocean wonders on your outing.
