Grandma and Jen visit part 1 - 4/28-5/7/16

After spending Friday in Boston, we made our way to Gloucester, MA. 4/30/16

Where we went on a whale watching tour with Seven Seas Whale Watching. After about an hour on the boat we made it to our destination - Stellwagen Marine Sanctuary. It didn't take long to start spotting whales! 

Many Humpback Whale sightings on this particular day! The Captain estimated at least 50 Humpbacks! 

Every year the whales return to the area as the water begins to warm in April and May. What a great experience! 

Man at the Wheel - Fisherman's Memorial to honor the thousands of fisherman lost to sea in Gloucester's first three centuries. 

Fishing boats and lobster cages - "America's oldest fishing seaport" Gloucester, MA.
