i'm a whale watcher

Today we rushed home from work so that we could go to sleep and get up to go whale watching...it was so fun!!! we saw humpback and finback whales...they were beautiful and amazingly graceful for being so large. I can not describe in words, if you plan on visiting us while we are here, try and go!!! they swam really near our boat, and then dove back into the water. i haven't seen all the photos yet ( some i took with my old school camera) but hopefully we got some really great ones, along with the really great wind/sunburn that tony and i got. my mom and mike got a little too, but what the heck! and i totally wore sunscreen, in fact we all did, but we sat on the front of the boat and it was going really fast at one point, like my om couldn't keep her hair under control. contrary to popular belief, they do not breach ( jump in the air) as much as they show on the learning channel.

our trip was through the new england aquarium, so our guide was an employee there who knew her stuff! the trip that left early in the day had seen baskin sharks, but we did not. oh well..
afterwards, we went to paul revere's house and took the tour of his house...cool...only no pictures allowed in the house-whatev's.
then for our favorite part...dinner at g'vannis, that is the place that tony and i went to for the two dinners and bottle of wine for 19.99...we like it so much that we took mom and mike there!!! and then, once again, stumbled out of there and went to quincy market and fanueil hall...we were tired from the boat ( and hammered from the wine) so we went home. i actually fell asleep on the train, yikes...oh well...now we are home-sobered up and mom is alseep on the couch. we are having a few drinks with mike. but tomorrow and friday we have to work again ( and we agreed to work another 14 hour shift!) oh yeah...we are going to be stying here for three weeks extra-yay!! we were going to come home and take three weeks off, but they want us to stay, so we said yes!
oh yeah, we have some great pictures that i wanted to add, but it is not working, so i will try to update and add them tomorrow!
