For two consecutive years... whale watching was amazing!!

I had told Sammie and Leah about whale watching but they didn't seem too excited.  Little did they know, they were about have an experience that they will most likely remember for the rest of lives.  We arrived to 'Hyannis Whale Watchers Cruises' after a short drive of approx/ 15 minutes from our Hyannis rental.  Schools in MA start the week before labor day, so the boat wasn't as crowded as last year.

Wow!!

After approx/ 90 mins...the boat stops and the crew starts looking for whales.  At first we saw a few far away from the boat.  But later... they got closer...a baby whale got so close to the boat that you could almost touch his flipper.  I will never forget everyone's faces.  Sammie's face expression was priceless.  I'm sure she will never forget it.

If you are in the cape area, and have never gone whale watching before... go.  It might be pricey for a large family.  But you and your kids will have memories for ever.
